I wish you could see my pair of Evica Milovanov Penezić leather gloves: bright red, with embossed circles of different sizes and colors. I have been a happy owner for years and not only have they remained as buttery soft as they were when I first got them, but they still add the same vibrancy to the grimmest of grey December days, all while being a conversation starter in every country they've traveled with me.
Evica gloves are hand-cut and made in small series from special Italian leather. They come in an explosion of colors and shapes and make you feel like a child in front of a candy shop.
They are sold in several places around Belgrade, but you will find a nice selection in Singidunum Gallery, right in the main pedestrian promenade.
A little trivia: the future Queen of England has been photographed on several occasions wearing Evica's gloves too.
