The Hillsborough Mitts are inspired by the historic North Carolina town of colonial Hillsborough. The mitts pair modern fingerless mitts with dainty ruffles and ladylike buttons in a nod to days gone by. These mitts are a perfect light weight for a Southern winter, but could also add a bit of flair to a chilly office or a brisk autumn day in a less forgiving climate.
