Signature Leather launch brand in USA

British company Signature Leather Ltd has launched a bespoke glove service in the USA and has been delighted with the US response. Custom made gloves in a variety of styles and colours direct from the UK are now available from select equestrian retailers across the USA.

US retailers agree that it is not easy to find a new and unique service that the US equestrian scene hasn’t seen before but the launch of the Signature Leather brand and “in store” for this holiday season has done just that! What’s more riders and retailers are thrilled at the quality and timely turn around of products that are available in a full range of stock sizes but can also uniquely be made to measure if required.

Quickly becoming the glove of choice throughout English equestrian disciplines the company anticipates that through the abundance of colour choice available together with the ability to manufacture styles to order that they will also attract interest across a broad sweep of equestrian sports including Western, Quarter Horse, Arabians and Thoroughbred racing. The secret to the quality of the gloves is the choice of world-renowned WRX100 leather from British tanners Pittards whose leather is used across all models in the Signature Collection.

Riders and carriage drivers agree that Signature leather is best described as a true “second skin”, providing the optimum close contact through the reins – unbelievably soft but strong and water-repellent at the same time. To show off the qualities of the Ethiopian hair sheep leather, full hides can be found in stores so that equestrians can appreciate first hand the suppleness, strength and lightness of touch that this leather provides. 

Equestrians who love the close contact features and “grip” of the leather can select from a colour choice of more than 50 traditional and fashion colours in a variety of styles including the latest “Fall” model featuring almost forgotten traditional hand-crochet backs, styling which epitomises the beauty and fine craftsmanship we have come to expect from Great Britain.

Signature’s colour combinations are vast. For example, the Spring glove is available with a choice of five knit backs, beige, brown, black, navy and white which when combined with the choice of leather colour provides for more than 250 different colour combinations in this one glove style alone!
 
Signature’s seasonal launch of new colours mirrors what’s happening in the European fashion industry with early announcements of trends in colour and samples provided well in advance to the network of Worldwide Signature Retail Partners. For 2007 early indications are that “Lake” and “Vintage Rose” as well as “Amethyst” and “Sunshine” are going to be extremely popular.

Signature Leather gloves are not available everywhere in line with Signatures goal of delivering the very best buying experience for US equestrians. Potential retail partners wishing to join the ranks of its premier retail channel are carefully evaluated as Signature works towards its plan to appoint at least one retail partner in each US State.
