A WELL-EARNED PAIR
"These Schwartz von Halen rabbit-lined lambskin gloves are the most luxurious pair I’ve ever owned. Buying them felt like a true milestone, a gift to myself after completing 16 rounds of chemotherapy. They’re not just beautiful, they carry meaning. I chose them with a December trip to Vienna in mind, where I plan to be intentional about how I present myself and what I bring into that experience. These gloves are part of that vision. The photos were taken along the South Holston River in southeast Tennessee, one of the finest fly-fishing rivers in the country and a favorite place to walk. Wearing them there, even briefly, made the moment feel elevated. For now, I’ve tucked them away to keep them pristine for winter in Europe. But I already know they were worth it. If you’re considering a splurge like this, I’d say go ahead. Some things are more than just purchases."
