Abstract
The Artisan skills of producing handmade leather gloves has long been an important trade is the West region of England. The towns and cities stretching from Worcester to Bath and beyond have been since the seventeenth century, a vital provider of employment in the area for both the glove makers, and for the leather tanneries. The last hundred years saw a marked decline in artisan glove making in this area due to much production being moved abroad. However, there has been a resurgence of demand for exquisite, hand made, quality gloves due to a variety of social influences, which will be explored in this paper.
