Maison Fabre

This glovemaker from Millau, which was founded in 1924, has capitalised on its racy designs from the sports car eras of the 1920s and '60s, opening a sexy little boutique. Classic gloves made from the softest leather (€100) come in 20 wild colours. Then there are the variations: crocodile, python, coyote, fur-trimmed, fingerless. But the ultimate lust object is the patent leather 'Auto' glove fastened with a massive button – somewhere between the cool of The Avengers and the kook of Austin Powers.
