Rhanders

R H A N D E R S

The Danish glove brand RHANDERS dates back to 1250, but was officially founded in 1811. This makes the brand the oldest leather glove maker in the world, and the company has always been family-owned. Although the brand's name has changed over the years, "Rhanders gloves" have been a phenomenon for centuries.

Ever since the brand's origin, they have been a supplier of leather gloves to royalty. It is even said that the French queen, Marie Antoinette, used to request Rhanders gloves specifically because of the soft quality and aroma of the leather. The aroma was due to Calamus root, which monks brought with them to the small town of Randers. At the time, the root was used in the leather dyeing process and provided the unique scent. The Calamus flower is still an icon and decorates their gloves to this day.

With a desire to bring "Rhanders gloves" to a modern audience, the RHANDERS brand has emerged as a natural extension of the company's historical and knowledgeable tradition.
