Aww my heart goes out 100%, I asked for leather gloves for my b-day last oct and i got a gorgeous red pair with a black decorative silk clasp - I was so very attatched to them and looked after them as much as you could possible look after a pair of gloves, only to loose them at a staff party and they were never returned!!! They had to be in the venue so pretty sure that they got lifted. Which is pretty sad for them but gutting for me. And yes, I still think about them every time I put on my pretty-but-just-not-the-same cotton sparklies. xxxx
