FlipTop Mittens
Fuzzy Flip-Top Mittens
Flip-top mittens, also known as convertible mittens or glittens (a mix of gloves + mittens), are a cozy and versatile type of handwear. They combine the warmth of mittens with the functionality of fingerless gloves.
Key Features:
-
Flip-Top Design:
The mitten portion can be flipped open and secured with a button or Velcro, exposing your fingers for tasks that require dexterity — like texting, using your phone, grabbing keys, or handling tools. -
Fingerless Base:
Under the flip-top is a fingerless glove structure that keeps your hands warm while allowing freedom of movement for your fingers. -
Fuzzy Material:
These mittens are lined or made entirely with plush, fuzzy fabric (like sherpa, fleece, faux fur, or microfiber). This adds extra insulation and a super-soft, cozy feel against the skin. -
Wrist Coverage:
Many fuzzy flip-top mittens have extended cuffs or elastic wrists to keep cold air out and warmth in.
Style + Use
-
Best For: Cold climates, outdoor activities, or those who need both warmth and fingertip access (e.g., photographers, dog walkers, market vendors).
-
Style Vibe: Cute, casual, winter-ready, and often available in playful colors or cozy neutrals.
Example:
Imagine slipping your hands into soft, teddy bear–fleece mittens that feel like hugging a warm blanket — and then flipping the tops off when you need to tap your phone screen.
