Spaccanapoli

The Spaccanapoli gloves are a study in duality: soft Italian lambskin nappa leather, made in Naples by the hands of master glovers who have observed the ancient rites of Neapolitan craftsmanship since 1930, stitched to a superfine merino wool fabric woven at Holland & Sherry, the renowned British fabric mill founded in London. Two traditions, one glove. Two heritages, split along the middle, just as Spaccanapoli, the narrow and storied street that cleaves the heart of historic Naples in two, has divided and united the city for centuries.

Every pair is cut by hand with scissors, shaped over time, and stitched through more than 25 individual artisan steps. The lambskin nappa leather is selected for its unmatched softness, its ability to mould to the hand like a second skin, and its quiet resilience against the passage of seasons. The Holland & Sherry merino wool panel brings warmth and a refined tactile contrast, making the Spaccanapoli equally at home in the city and at the wheel.

These gloves were not designed to follow any trend. They were designed to outlast all of them. At Gala Gloves, time is not a constraint but our most precious raw material: the same unhurried devotion that shaped the first pair in our Naples workshop in 1930 is present in every stitch of the Spaccanapoli today. When you wear them, you carry not just leather and wool, but three generations of mastery.
