1930

Anna Muscariello

Anna and Raffaele Muscariello.

In Naples, brother and sister learn the art of glove-making with patience and care. Anna will become mother to seven children, and she will pass the craft on to all of them.

1964

Gaetano Pellone.

One of Anna's seven children decides to carry the trade forward. Gaetano opens his own workshop, with boldness and patience. He still walks into it every day.

1990

Alessandro Pellone.

Gaetano's second son takes over the company. He gives the brand a new name: Gala Gloves, from the four letters of the family. Gaetano, Antonietta, Lorenzo, Alessandro. Father, mother, brother, son.

From Naples to the world.

The opening to international markets is Alessandro's quiet contribution. The United Kingdom comes first, and is the brand's home for years. Then France. Then Japan, where, today, our gloves find some of their most attentive readers.

To speak of Italian gloves has always meant, in truth, to speak of Neapolitan gloves. Our hands tell the same story.

Hands gently pressing on premium leather, reflecting the elegance of Italian craftsmanship in glove making.

Our mission

Carry the Neapolitan glove beyond Italy.

The craft of the city has always belonged to the world. Our task is to make sure it keeps travelling.

And if you asked us…

From the audacity to dare. Always.

If you were to ask how Gala Gloves was born, we would answer with one word: audacity. The courage to keep the old hands at the bench, and to add new ones beside them.
