About Me

Daniel Storto: March 2012 | America's Master Glovemaker | Daniel Storto designs and hand stitches each pair of gloves. A single father raising his 10 year old son on his own, they reside in Gloversville New York, the one time glove making capital of the world. He is the last remaining glove maker with the only storefront shop where you can observe him at work using tools made in Gloversville dating back to the early 1800's and passed down to him from previous glove makers. The shop is a tribute to all of those glove makers that have come before him and is proud to be preserving an important chapter of American history. Daniel Storto only accepts commissions, and has collaborated with fashion designers as Geoffrey Beene, Alexander McQueen, Dries Van Noten, Thom Browne, Givenchy, Guy Laroche, Adeline Andre, J.Mendel, Oscar de la Renta, Duckie Brown, Derek Lam, and Paul Smith. The Costume Institute at the esteemed Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York and The Royal Ontario Museum in Toronto have made his work a part of their permanent collection. A film script about the life of Daniel Storto and his son in Gloversville is currently in development. Please visit: www.danielstorto.com
