Il Caffè Sospeso

Everyone knows that coffee is one of the most iconic elements of Neapolitan tradition. Among the many legends, the story of the "suspended coffee" stands out—a gesture where one pays for two coffees, one for themselves and one for a stranger, embodying the city's spirit of generosity and community.

This tradition of the "suspended coffee" has inspired "Il caffè sospeso", artisanal gloves crafted from the finest nappa leather and Vitale Barberis fabric. These gloves represent the elegance and craftsmanship that Naples is renowned for, capturing the essence of the city's artisanal heritage.

The custom of the "suspended coffee" began in the early 19th century, with itinerant coffee makers traversing the streets of Naples, offering their brew to the bustling crowds. This practice of sharing and compassion became a symbol of hope during World War II, as people continued to buy an extra cup of coffee for those less fortunate.

"When someone is happy in Naples, they buy two coffees: one for themselves and one for someone else. It’s like offering a cup of coffee to the rest of the world". This sentiment of generosity and community is woven into the very fabric of "Il caffè sospeso" gloves, making them a testament to the love, understanding, and artistry that define Naples.

The gloves, crafted with meticulous attention to detail, embody the humanity and positive feelings that are part of this city's legacy. They are not just accessories, but a celebration of Neapolitan culture and the timeless values it upholds.
