It all started when glove maker Elmer moved to Gloversville, USA and created his own company “Elmer Little & Sons” in the late 1800’s. In time the company became a huge success and one of the top glove companies in the USA, known for their excellent quality that lasted for years and years. Later on they were acquired by the Japanese company Swany and Elmer by Swany became the perfect merge of the tradition and craft that goes into making a pair of gloves and Japanese aesthetic and fashion sense.
