Maison Fabre: Luxury Gantier

Maison Fabre is a renowned gantier founded in 1924 and now run by the fourth generation of the same family. Offering a rainbow of colors and styles, from classic peccary driving gloves for men to slinky elbow-length crocheted showstoppers trimmed with leather lace for femmes fatales, Maison Fabre proudly handcrafts all its gloves in the traditional French glove-making town of Millau, in the Aveyron. Its first Paris shop is tucked under the arcades of the Palais Royale; now a second Paris boutique has opened on the Left Bank, in Saint Germain des Prés.
