These are very nice gloves with a super-soft touch and stylish look. Just received them and did not have a chance to wear them for any event, thus no comment on whether they last long. I ordered a pair from Victoria's Secret before, but had to return it because they did not cover my elbows though everything else about the gloves were perfect. I hoped that this pair of long gloves would cover my elbows and they do! This was the first time that I bought something with no comment/rate on Amazon. Luckily, they did not disappoint me. The bottom line is that I would recommend them to others.
