RHANDERS COFFEE TABLE BOOK
THE ART OF GLOVEMAKING SINCE 1684
Discover the extraordinary story of RHANDERS and 800 years of glovemaking heritage.
The Art of Glovemaking since 1684 is a richly illustrated coffee table book unfolding the story of one of the world’s oldest glove houses - from the earliest traces of calamus in Randers around 1250, through royal hands and Parisian savoir-faire, to RHANDERS today.
Created with a deep appreciation for aesthetics and the art of bookmaking, the story unfolds through historic photographs, archival treasures, original drawings and contemporary imagery, bringing eight centuries of craftsmanship, design and cultural heritage to life.
Written by acclaimed Danish author Hanne Sindbæk following seven years of extensive research, the book features a foreword by Danish author and cultural critic Anne Sophia Hermansen and an introduction by Mark Dunhill, great-grandson of Alfred Dunhill and former President of Alfred Dunhill. An afterword by RHANDERS owner and CEO Rina Hansen reflects on what it means to be entrusted with centuries of heritage - and the responsibility of carrying it forward.
The book is a journey into the art of glovemaking and a celebration of the hands, skills and stories that have carried this remarkable heritage through generations.

How to determine my glove size?
You find your size by measuring the circumference around your palm at its widest point (without the thumb).
If you measure in centimeters, you can simply divide the number by 2,7 to get your personal glove size in French inches.
