Our story
We do know how skilled little magicians children can be! Hokkuspokkus and gloves disappear, simsalabim and gloves disappear. Has it ever occurred to you too, why not organize a glove throw competition for the children when the knickerbockers visit? Have you also found yourself in dressing situations for children's events or kindergartens, when the floor space looks like a sea of gloves and you should be fishing for the missing pair of the child's gloves?
As a child's parent, early childhood education teacher and family worker, I know that play is a child's characteristic way of being, living and understanding the world. If the gloves do not stay on the hands during outdoor play or they fall off leaving the wrist bare, the play may be unpleasant and the risk of getting sick increases. Losing gloves is not environmentally friendly and buying new ones increases financial costs.
To overcome these challenges, a solution was needed – a glove.
Gloveshirt is a Finnish brand and online store offering unisex products, whose first product is a unique glove shirt. The glove has been granted utility model protection by the Patent and Registration Office. Gloveshirt manufactures user-friendly and high-quality clothes and products for children with a high degree of domesticity. Respecting the wishes of the customers, adult sizes of beanies and tube scarves intended for "smoothing" have been added to the collection. Gloveshirt products have been awarded the Key Flag label.
A few words about myself. I already have as many driving kilometers as my golden middle age. I am a mother, a social educator and a solution-oriented brief therapist. Work experience has been accumulated over a period of thirty years of working with children and families, so there is also experience and insight. In addition, I have guided children who need special support and who are motorically active for years. As a Metsämörri and Muksuoppi instructor, I have learned to explore children's world and thoughts from the grassroots level. Welcome to also read the online store blog, which I write with a twinkle in my eye.
I myself do not have the necessary knowledge and skills for planning or manufacturing products, but I have practical experience and need-based knowledge of safe products that make children's everyday life easier. I've had the pleasure and luck of having several masters of the textile industry and other actors as my partners, thanks to which Gloveshirt's products are exactly what I wanted.
Enthusiasm and inspiration is the driving force that will keep our product family growing in the near future as well!
I believe that the glove shirt and our other products will bring joy and benefit to many small and big outdoor enthusiasts!
Wishing you inspiring moments in our online store,
Mari and the Gloveshit team
