“A contemporary tradition, with its heart in the past and its eyes on the future.”
Alessandro Pellone
Hello, I'm Alessandro Pellone
Welcome to Gala Gloves. We each carry a dream worth pursuing. Gala Gloves is mine, made real.
Since I was a boy I wanted to take over the family workshop, to make the ordinary extraordinary, in a quiet dialogue between past and present. Preserving the authenticity of the Neapolitan glove-making tradition without giving up the pleasure of trying new techniques.
So I set to work. Bag in hand, I travelled to fashion fairs around the world, looking for the techniques and machinery that would add value to our craft.
If you were to ask me how Gala Gloves was born, I would say: from the audacity to dare. Always.
A new generation joins the story
With Laura Pellone joining the family workshop, Gala Gloves welcomes a new energy: a young, determined outlook, a personal sensibility, and the desire to contribute to the family story without simply repeating it.
Laura has always been fascinated by the history of the city, and above all by the less obvious Naples: hills, staircases, hamlets, terraces, gardens and old paths that suddenly open toward the sea. This hidden geography inspires the first collection of Gala Gloves hats. A tribute to a father, a new step for a daughter, a family story that continues generation after generation.
A contemporary tradition
Gala Gloves is a new beginning for my family's long glove-making tradition. The contemporary techniques I have added to the traditional ones:
-
Needle-punching
A vertical-needle process that joins leather and wool through micro-stitching, creating a non-woven surface.
-
Laser cutting
Precise incisions on a range of materials, for details traditional cutting could never offer.
-
Custom embroidery
Distinctive shapes that give room to creativity and meet the most demanding request.
-
Material pairings
Combinations of materials drawn from different origins and natures: leather and wool, fabric and hide, lamb and cashmere.
