In need of critique of this logo. All opinions are appreciated.

I understand the reasoning behind it, and I think that, given the right treatment, it will not look too corporate (think Fendi). One gripe, though, is that it reminds me a bit of a buckle, so, again, to me, it says more purse or belt than gloves.
Anyway, I think the first thing to do should be refining the wordmark: it looks pretty rough for an high end brand.
A couple of additional thoughts. Rotating the icon 45 degrees within the background square might make it more interesting. You also might try eliminating the background square, or trying other shapes for the background, or maybe even a color gradient (although you'd still need a black-and-white version for xeroxes, etc).
