Glovedup in Sterling £££
It's 5 years since the first collection of fingerless gloves was launched on Glovedup.com.
Back then Glovedup was based in Amsterdam (Holland), where the currency was Dutch Guilders. This didn't seem like a smart choice for a global website, so shop items were priced in US$.
Now in London and 5 years on, it's time to switch currency from $ to £, and to up the prices - which have been the same since 2001.
