When It
Was a Game.
Every Whenitwasagame piece was once a real baseball glove that played real games. The fingers become purses. The pockets become coozies. The leather lives on.
Shop the CollectionFrom the Field to Your Hands
When a baseball glove reaches the end of its game life — worn, broken in, retired from the diamond — most become landfill. Whenitwasagame takes those gloves and transforms them into functional accessories using the same leather that caught fly balls, fielded grounders, and held thousands of pitches.
Each finger glove purse is cut and sewn from the literal finger of a baseball glove. The pocket coozie uses the pocket — the cup shape of the glove where the ball landed. The leather is already broken in from years of use. No two pieces are identical. Every one has a history.
