£300
Branded cotton, elastic and wadding

Like the expression 'chained to the cooker' the wearer of these oven gloves is 'oven ready' at all times. The elastic attached to the oven gloves implies that they would be worn constantly; a reminder of when we were young and our mums would sew elastic onto our mittens, to wear up our sleeves so that they wouldn't be lost. The owner of this pair has worn them so much that their handprint has been branded onto the glove.
