Weekly Photo Challenge: Arranged
I’m not sure how much longer this classic glove shop in Lisbon’s Chiado area will be able to remain open as I find it difficult to imagine there’s much demand for custom-made leather gloves these days. I’ve never been through the doors but I always pause to admire these carefully arranged gloves, relics of past fashions. The tiny shop has been open since 1925 so next time I’m in Lisbon I’m going to try and get there during opening hours to find out what’s inside before it’s too late.

Not only does luva mean ‘glove’, but Portuguese took the word from Gothic, which was a Germanic language and therefore a relative of English. The original g has been lost in Portuguese, but if you put it back you can see how closely the Portuguese and English words match.
Good interpretation!!

William Shakespeare’s father was a glove maker – just thought I’d mention it!

Lovely interpretation!
Isn’t it just gorgeous! Nice interpretation. Trying not to get sucked in to looking at all the photo challenges this weekend- I’ve still some 6WS’s to visit!
Thanks, Jo. Enjoy your visits – I’ve slacked off on 6WS, I’m afraid. Working Saturday mornings doesn’t help!
