These gloves are just wonderful!  Made in France from the 1950's, they are as stylish now as they were when originally purchased.  They are made from a pale mauve kidskin, with rolled leather edging and accent.  The area above the wrist is flared, so it can be worn with a multitude of styles.  They have some very faint soil.  They are not opera length, but just between wrist and opera length.  .  I have found that art eraser in the little baggies, rubbed over the gloves, cleans slight soil.  These do still have some very faint soil upon the palms.
