Late season deals on long leather gloves

This fan of long leather gloves has been thrilled to see their resurgence in the last few years.  That said, the best time to get a deal on these gloves is now, near the end of the season.  I'm also a fan of the shopping website polyvore.com, which is a great way to compare prices on items and is really good at listing sale prices.

These 12-button length long black leather gloves from Bloomingdale's are true "opera length."  Originally $168.00, they're a deal at $117.60.  Unfortunately, they're only available in a small size 7.  I also found it interesting that for as long as the gloves are, the modeled photo shows them worn very scrunched.  In fact, the gloves shown on the model look so much shorter, it makes me wonder if they're actually the same gloves!



These Charter Club long leather gloves by Macy's are a real deal at $63.99, regularly $128.00.  They're an even better deal as Macy's often offers an extra 15% off!  While not as long as the Bloomie's gloves above, these are a nice practical longer length for everyday wear.  Currently available in all sizes.  Even the item text is clever: You're in luxe. Sumptuous leather composes these long leather gloves that boast a decidedly femme fatale feel


These Saks black leather opera gloves are also a decent deal at $165.00, especially considering they're silk-lined and made in Italy.  Sign up for Saks e-mail and get an extra 10% off.  This basic-styled leather opera glove measures 19.5" long and is currently only available in a size 8.

Although a little pricier than I'd like, these stunning 23" long black leather opera gloves from Dents are available at Harrods.com for US $228.00.  These gloves feature a mosquetaire button and loop opening at the wrist and stitching detail on the back of the palm.  Currently available in sizes 6.5 - 8.
