SINCE 1811
HAND CRAFTED GLOVES
Founded in 1811, Randers Handsker is one of the finest and longest standing glove-makers in the world – still crafting the most exquisite gloves for kings, queens and connoisseurs.
Now introducing the limited line, RHANDERS. Intrinsically timeless, transcending seasons, yet completely modern.
Founded in 1811
Randers handskefabrik
While Napoleon Bonaparte was facing his last battles at war, the initiative to build a glove factory in Randers, Denmark – known for its fine glove-making – was taken by O.C. Kellermann. He was a merchant with international experience, and so he gathered a group of skilled glove cutters and tanners from France and founded Randers Handskefabrik with 20 craftsmen.

Crafting 20 pairs a day
The seamstresses were trained for at least a year before they could master the delicate full piqué technique. This overlapping technique is commanded in millimetres, one stitch at a time, without being able to see the stitching on the other side. Therefore, also called glove blind-stitching. The technique is still used today, only mastered by a few in the world.
Purveyor
to the danish crown
Following hundreds of years of gloving kings, queens and zarinas, Randers Handsker was appointed purveyor to the royal danish court
