For urban photography, every piece of gear must enhance the ability to capture the dynamic essence of city life. At Vallerret Photography Gloves, we dedicate ourselves to improvement, ensuring that our products meet the needs of our community. We're excited to compare our new glove, the Djuke, to our previous version, the Urbex. We'll show the improvements that make the Djuke the best choice for urban and street photographers.

The Urbex is a trusted companion for many urban landscape photographers with its classic brown goat leather design. The Djuke takes style to the next level with a sleek black finish.
This modern update not only looks sophisticated but also ensures that you blend in seamlessly with the urban environment. This allows documentary photographers to focus on capturing those candid, unguarded moments without drawing unnecessary attention.
One of the most significant upgrades in the Djuke is the addition of Thinsulate™ Insulation. We added Thinsulate™ Insulation on the back of the hand to keep your hands warm in cold city conditions. This advanced insulation technology delivers superior warmth without adding bulk.
It makes the Djuke the perfect glove for those early morning shoots and late-night photo walks through the city streets.
The Urbex featured a standard wrist strap, which provided a good fit for most users. However, The Djuke introduces an adjustable wrist strap, allowing you to customize the fit to your liking.
This upgrade ensures maximum comfort and dexterity, whether you prefer a tight, secure fit or something a bit looser. It guarantees that your gloves stays in place, giving you the confidence to focus on your camera settings.
The Urbex has good touchscreen compatibility. The Djuke's goes even further. It uses an improved touchscreen-ready material on the index fingers and thumbs. This enhancement ensures even better responsiveness, allowing you to interact with your smartphone or camera screen effortlessly. It's not visible from the top as a specific touchscreen material, instead it looks just like part of the glove. Neat, isn't it?
Whether the finger caps are open or closed, the Djuke provides full freedom to adjust settings, text, or share your latest street shots on social media with ease.
Both gloves have a pre-curved design, but the Djuke was improved based on input from our community of urban and street photographers. The pre-curved construction aligns with the natural shape of your hand, reducing fatigue during long shoots and ensuring that every movement is smooth and precise.
An even better feel for the camera, enhancing your grip and overall handling.
The Djuke is not only perfect for photographers but also for all types of creatives. Whether you’re using photo cameras, video cameras, or drones, the Djuke provides the dexterity and control you need. Its versatile design makes it an essential tool for any creative professional working in the urban environment.
In summary, the Djuke represents a significant evolution from the Urbex. We added key enhancements that cater to the needs of modern urban and street photographers:
The Djuke sets a new standard in functionality, comfort, and style. It's not just an upgrade, it's proof of our dedication to giving street photographers the best tools for their vision.
Embrace the city, embrace the style, and let the Djuke be your companion in every shot!

In the heart of the city, where the buzz of life and the beauty of architecture blend seamlessly, capturing the perfect shot is an distinctive artform. Street photography face unique challenges, not the least of which is the unpredictable weather.
It doesn’t need to be winter to get cold quickly in the city. Wind blowing in narrow streets, sudden rain, or the cold after hours of exploring can make your hands numb and stiff.
That’s why we’re so excited about The Djuke – our newest photography glove, meticulously designed for those mild winter conditions in the unpredictable urban environment and in a sleek design approved by the fashion police.
