Description

Gloves born from our flawed knits, carefully upcycled in France.

The story of Main d'Armor

At Baie des Caps, every stitch counts.
Our panels with slight imperfections are no longer discarded: they are reborn as an accessory that is useful, durable, and meaningful.

The Main d'Armor gloves symbolize this approach of responsible upcycling, true to our Breton roots and our artisanal know-how.
Knitted in our workshops in Ploubalay, they combine softness, warmth, and authenticity, to accompany you through winters on land and at sea.

Why you'll love them

?? Knitted from our upcycled knits, for zero-waste production.
?? Natural wool warmth, breathability, and everyday comfort.
?? Unisex and timeless cut, for men and women.
?? 100% Breton knitting in our workshop labeled Entreprise du Patrimoine Vivant (EPV - Living Heritage Company), and manufacturing in the Oise by an artisan glove maker since 1865.
?? A sober and elegant design, true to the Baie des Caps DNA.

A word from the workshop

"Each Main d'Armor glove tells a story: that of a knit that found new life, and of a savoir-faire that we preserve, day after day, in the heart of Côtes-d'Armor."

To find your size:

1. Place the tape measure on the back of your hand, holding it with your thumb and covering the knuckles.

2. Wrap the tape measure around your hand, taking the inside of the palm but not including the thumb.

Technical characteristics

Composition & maintenance

Traceability

Knit: 12-gauge knitted panels produced in our workshop in Beaussais-sur-Mer, wool spun and dyed by Biella Yarn (Italy).
The particularity: each panel had a slight knitting irregularity — a snagged thread, a marked stitch, uneven tension… — that prevented it from becoming a sweater. Rather than throwing it away, we are giving it a second life.
Manufacturing: Gant Maille, French manufacturer of gloves and balaclavas.
Quality: the finished product is flawless — the pieces are cut from the perfect areas of the panel. Each pair is unique.

A Successful Transmission

In 2019, the arrival of Geoffroy and Lucie de Pinieux marked a turning point for Baie des Caps. Their aim? To make known a brand that had long stayed confidential, while preserving its craft soul. Today a team of 6 skilled artisans handles the 100% French knitting and making-up of our sailor sweaters.

Think about the Second Life: Give Longevity to Your Sweater

Even the most durable knit can show signs of wear over time. At Baie des Caps we help you extend the life of your garments with our repair services:

  • Repairs: dropped stitches, holes, fitting of knitted elbow patches.

Local recycling: drop off or send us the sweater that has become too small or is no longer worn. We put it back into shape so that it finds a second life and delights another customer. In exchange, you receive a credit note to put towards something new.
