Gloves have tremendous market penetration, but there is always room for improvement an innovation. Enter Sruli Recht, a merchant selling gloves made out of the supple skin of the basking shark for about $1,000. You many be thinking, shark skin gloves may be different, but are they worth of a front page feature on aPlateOfGrapes.com? Well these gloves have fishhook-like thorns on the inside that make it impossible to take the gloves off (no word on if they’ll be making condoms, too).
A description from their site:
“Fitted and unlined glove from basking shark skin, with the mic-rose thorns inside. Should you put your hand in, you will discover that the thorns, all directed to slant inward, will lock your hand in place in the manner of, ten thousand fishhooks. Should you attempt to remove it, the thousands of thorns will bite into the skin. You can put the gloves on, but to remove them would mean to cut them off. Gloves for life, or for one wear – the ultimate and final commitment.”
