Leather gloves 🧤

I bought some lovely soft leather gloves from JL before Christmas. I notice each glove has a tiny thin leather patch with a minute hole in the centre just inside. It sits where the back of each hand goes. At first I wondered whether it was a ‘pull on’ device but the small hole set me wondering.

Have any of you clever grans got any idea what they are for? I could take a photo ...

Oops, that should read "leather" of course!

Are they for hanging them up in the shop or for the price tag without damaging the leather of the actual,glove?

That's what I've assumed. I have a few M&S pairs in different colours, and they all have them. I think they had cardboard tags on in the shop and were hung on rails for customers to peruse.

I'd attach string or something so I didn't lose them.
They're maybe to attach to buttons on a coat, for the same reason!
