A pair of hand-sewn leather gloves bearing the Bon Marché department store mark in Paris. They are still attached to each other by a thread.
There was a time when protocol had very strict requirements. To marry without upsetting his beloved's father, custom dictated that the suitor present himself before him wearing a pair of butter-colored gloves. Considered at the time a truly sacred ritual, this tradition signified the profound respect the son-in-law held for his father-in-law, considered the sole head of the family.
These gloves, made of mesh or leather, are named after the color reminiscent of fresh butter.
