Product comparison
Compared within this brand.
| Valérie Ribbed-Cuff Leather Mittens: Choose this if you want a genuine leather mitten for cold city mornings, commutes, or drives to work, made with chrome-free cowhide certified by the Leather Working Group. The acrylic rib-knit cuff can be rolled down over the wrist to block wind from sneaking into your coat sleeve, and the over 250 grams of PrimaLoft Gold insulation on the back of the hand is described by the brand as delivering impressive warmth without bulk. It comes in black in small, medium, and large, with a soft polar fleece lining and a removable POWGIRL leash, though it is designed as a sleek, minimal everyday mitten rather than a heavy-duty option.[1,2] | Manon Plush Trim Suede Gloves: Choose these gloves if you want a traditional-style, Canadian-designed pair of genuine suede gloves with ultra-soft plush trim for dressing up cold-weather outfits—per customer reviews, the plush lining is warm and cozy for daily outings and the elegant suede look draws compliments. They're cut from a single piece of leather with a 100% polyester lining and an olefin-polyester filling. Note that sizing reportedly runs small and narrow, fitting long fingers in length but feeling tight, so measure carefully if you have wide or larger hands.[3,4] |
