1950 Italian Lamb Leather Shorties

Vintage 1950s Portolano gloves, size 6½. These elegant shortie-length gloves measure 8 3/4" from fingertip to cuff, designed to sit just at the wrist with a 1 1/2 bouton length.

These exquisite vintage Portolano shortie gloves in soft white lamb leather feature intricate floral cutouts, scalloped edges, and delicate ecru embroidery. Stamped size 6 1/2, these gloves capture the grace of the golden age of gloves, a time when no well-dressed woman stepped out without them.

Made from fine lambskin, prized for its buttery softness, light weight, and elegant drape, these gloves mold beautifully to the hand for a second-skin fit. Lamb leather is known for its luxurious feel and smooth, fine grain, making it a favorite of heritage brands like Portolano.

Founded in 1895 in Naples, Italy by Fortunato Portolano, the company earned its reputation through masterful craftsmanship and traditional Italian techniques. These gloves are a refined example of that legacy, a rare and timeless accessory for collectors and lovers of vintage elegance.
