Hestra women's gloves and mittens in Scandinavian style

Hestra Gloves Since 1936

Scandinavian Gloves & Mittens for Women

Since 1936, Hestra has been making gloves with a remarkable attention to craftsmanship, materials and fit. Founded in the Swedish village of Hestra, the family-run company has grown from a small glove maker into one of the world's best-known glove specialists, while retaining its strong Scandinavian heritage and focus on making exceptional gloves.

At Blomster Designs, we have carefully selected a collection of Hestra gloves and mittens with women in mind, bringing together warm wool styles, beautifully made winter mittens and practical gloves for everyday life. From a cosy pair of Raggwool mittens to elegant leather and winter styles, Hestra combines warmth and functionality with the understated character we love about Scandinavian design.

Hestra – The Art of Glove Making
Since 1936

Hestra has spent generations perfecting the art of making gloves. Rather than producing a little of everything, the company has concentrated on one thing: creating gloves that offer warmth, comfort, protection and a great fit.

That specialist knowledge can be seen throughout the Hestra collection, from traditional woollen mittens and everyday gloves to carefully constructed leather styles. The brand's long-standing relationships with material suppliers and tanneries, together with its own manufacturing expertise, are an important part of what makes Hestra different.

There is a reassuring sense of longevity to Hestra. These are gloves designed to be worn, enjoyed and cared for rather than simply replaced when the season changes.

Our collection at Blomster Designs is currently focused on women's Hestra gloves and mittens, chosen for their warmth, comfort and Scandinavian style.

Hestra Wool Gloves & Mittens

Wool is a natural choice for cold-weather accessories, offering warmth and a wonderfully tactile feel. Hestra's wool styles bring together traditional materials and practical Scandinavian design, making them ideal for winter walks, trips into town and everyday cold-weather wear.

The Hestra Raggwool collection is a particular favourite, with its distinctive knitted character and choice of mittens, five-finger gloves and half-finger styles.

Hestra Winter Mittens

For maximum warmth and a beautifully relaxed winter feel, mittens are hard to beat. Hestra's mittens provide plenty of room for your fingers to share warmth while offering a cosy and practical choice for colder days.

Styles such as Hestra Otra, Dale and Isvik bring different interpretations of the traditional mitten, from soft and natural tones to Scandinavian-inspired colour combinations.

Hestra Gloves for Everyday Winter

A good pair of winter gloves should be warm enough for cold mornings while still being comfortable and easy to wear throughout the day. Hestra's everyday styles are designed with exactly that balance in mind.

Whether you're heading out for a winter walk, travelling, shopping or simply enjoying a crisp Scandinavian-style winter day, Hestra offers gloves that combine practicality with understated style.

Carefully selected materials

From natural wool and cashmere to carefully selected leathers and textiles, Hestra chooses materials for their warmth, durability, comfort and feel.

Comfortable, considered fit
A well-made glove should feel natural to wear. Hestra pays particular attention to construction and fit, helping create gloves that are comfortable while allowing your hands to move naturally.

Looking After Your Hestra Gloves

A good pair of Hestra gloves deserves a little care. Looking after them properly can help maintain their appearance, performance and longevity.

Leather gloves in particular benefit from regular conditioning with the appropriate Hestra leather balm. Hestra also recommends allowing wet gloves to dry naturally at room temperature rather than placing them directly next to a radiator or other heat source.

We've put together a simple guide covering the essentials, including caring for leather, washing linings and helping your gloves last for many seasons.
