About Etre Shop

Etre Shop is...er...Etre's shop.

Who/what is Etre? We're an award-winning London-based design agency that specialises in making things more people friendly. We started life designing websites (and still design them to this very day, in fact). But on a cold December's morning back in 2007, we had an idea. An idea that would change our lives forever!

Ahem.

Picture the scene: There we were, huddled together outside our favourite coffee shop, chatting away on our mobile phones, when we noticed a problem. Every time we wanted to make a call, we had to remove our gloves so as not to fat-finger the keypad. The result: freezing cold phalanges. It was then that we had our eureka moment: Most mobile devices only require input from your index fingers and thumbs. So we snipped the tips of these digits off our gloves, et voila: We had ourselves a "product"…Actually, it was a little more complicated than that, but you get the gist…

Anyway, in the months that followed, Etre Touchy Gloves became something of a sensation - appearing on TV, in print and on the hands of celebrities around the world. Which necessitated having somewhere to sell them. Which is why we created Etre Shop - our very own design store.

At the moment, Etre Shop only sells Etre Touchy Gloves and our latest creation, Etre FIVEPOINT Gloves. Pretty soon, though, we'll be adding more of our own products and stocking stuff from other talented folks too. Products that - like our gloves - celebrate utilitarian style. So take a look around. Make yourself at home. And, if you feel like it, buy something. (But only if you feel like it.)
