In a world driven by mass production, there are still corners of true artistry. Thomas Riemer’s gloves, available at The Hand, represent one such corner—where the centuries-old craft of glove-making is alive and thriving.
A Storied Heritage
The Riemer name has been synonymous with excellence since the 1960s, when Erwin Riemer co-founded RIKA and gained fame as the official glove outfitter for Olympic ski teams. Building on this legacy, Thomas Riemer revived his family’s tradition, setting a new standard for handmade gloves that fuse heritage with innovation.
