Inspired by all the vampire movies and television series that have sprung up with the persistence of the Undead in popular culture, these elegant, lacy fingerless gloves offer stylish protection when fending off unwelcome advances from the local vampire population.

With X~O~X~O cables winding romantically up the back of the hand and a feminine sawtooth lace edging, they hearken back to an earlier, more decorative time when women were ladies and men were vampires. A lovely stash-busting gift for someone special.
