About Us

One bench. Four crafts.

The Glove Designs started with a worn-out ball glove and a stubborn refusal to throw it away. It grew into a shop that repairs, rebuilds, designs, and creates.

The story

It began the way most good shops do — fixing something that wasn't worth fixing. A glove with a busted lace, a piece of scrap wood, and a weekend with nothing better to do.

Word travelled. One repair turned into wallets cut from retired gloves, then wooden flags for neighbors, then logos and uniforms for local teams, then the projects nobody else wanted to take on.

Today The Glove Designs is a small American shop that treats every commission like it's going in someone's family for the next thirty years — because a lot of them do.
