The Evelyn Toomistu brand stands for handcrafted, custom-made leather gloves for every occasion.

My passion for gloves was sparked in my homeland of Estonia, a country renowned for its Nordic design and cold winters. With a degree in Fashion, Textile, and Leather Design (B.A.) and a Master’s in Art Education (M.A.), I now share my expertise on leather gloves through workshops, my YouTube channel, and my book “Leather Gloves: History and Crafting” (Booy Publishing, 2024). This book offers an in-depth look at the history and industry of gloves, alongside detailed, step-by-step instructions and patterns for crafting your own.

On the Repair Rebels platform, I offer workshops, as well as repair and size adjustment services for leather gloves.

I draw inspiration from a variety of sources, including art, fashion history, architecture, and even unexpected places like home renovation stores. I enjoy blending historical elements with modern details and seasonal trends. Glove fashion evolves alongside traditional fashion trends, with ever-changing yet recurring colors and decorative styles.

Leather goods and leather gloves are sustainable products that can last for decades. No vegan leather or textile product matches the longevity of real leather. To extend their lifespan even further, especially when they hold sentimental value, I am happy to repair them for Repair Rebels customers. I also enjoy revamping outdated gloves and giving them new life.
