Frequently Asked Questions

What is peccary leather?

Peccary is leather from a wild boar species native to South America. Distinguished by clusters of three pores in the grain, the hide produces leather that is soft as silk yet remarkably strong. Considered one of the most prized glove leathers in the world.

Why is peccary so rare?

Limited and regulated supply under CITES Appendix II, with traceability from origin. Peccary cannot be farmed: only regulated wild quotas in Peru. Each hide is carefully selected for glove-making.

What makes the peccary grain recognisable?

The triplet pores: small clusters of three natural pores visible on the grain, derived from the animal's hair structure.

Is women's peccary available in longer styles?

Yes, some models reach mid-length on the forearm. Peccary adapts well thanks to its natural elasticity, while keeping precision in the cut.

How do I care for peccary gloves?

Peccary is more durable than lambskin and more forgiving with moisture. Blot dry if wet, air-dry at room temperature, condition once a season with a high-quality leather cream.

What size should I order?

Measure the circumference of your dominant hand at the knuckles. View the women's size guide for the full method. Peccary moulds to the hand; pick your true size.

Women's Peccary Leather Gloves

The most prized leather in glove-making, in a feminine register

A peccary glove combines two rare qualities: extreme softness to the touch and serious durability in wear. The peccary is a wild boar from the South American forests, with regulated CITES Appendix II supply from Peru. Its leather is soft as silk, resistant and naturally pleasant to wear.

Triplet pores, signature grain: peccary's most recognisable feature is the natural grain. Small round pores arranged in groups of three, visible on every pair in direct light, derive from the animal's hair structure and make each glove slightly different from the next.

For the woman who reads the material: women's peccary is chosen by those who look for rare, technical, living leather, capable of standing out without ostentation. It works for essential lines or richer couture creations, lined in cashmere or silk for long wear.

Small-batch production: peccary does not follow continuous industrial availability. Hides reach Naples in small lots, under regulated supply. Each pair is hand-cut and stitched according to the Neapolitan glove-making tradition.
