There are certain occasions when even 16 inches of sleek satin opera glove is not quite enough and for those occasions we have made Calista, which features everything that you would expect in an opera glove plus the most splendid bow. The bow sits at the base of a side vent at the top of the arm and is designed to flatter and embellish. Is it over the top? Maybe just a little but then there are those occasions when a little bit extra just falls into place.
Opera Length. This is a 16 inch glove. This is measured from where the thumb seam meets the wrist, to the opening of the glove.
Our Duchess Satin is a medium weight satin which brims with confidence. It has the glimmer of a fabric which knows how to capture moonbeams. It holds the promise, the allure of enchanted evenings and is guaranteed to unlock the mysteries of romance. We promise. And with just a touch of stretch for added comfort and wearability.
If you'd like to see a swatch of this material in this colour before you decide, you can order one here.
Satin is a surface. It doesn’t just clothe — it reflects, glides, and catches light with grace. But that sheen is also its vulnerability. Satin doesn’t take well to stress. It doesn’t like twisting, cramming or high heat. What it wants is space, softness, and time.
Handle it like you would something already perfect — because in its best state, it is.
Always turn satin inside out before washing, and use a mesh delicates bag. Keep the cycle short and slow. After the wash, lay the gloves flat and reshape while damp. If pulls appear, don’t panic — they often respond to a light scratch from the reverse side to reset the weave.
Wash cold on a gentle cycle with gloves inside out in a mesh bag. Lay flat to dry. Gently realign fibres from the reverse if any pulls occur. Do not tumble dry or press directly.
For gloves with sheen loss, persistent creases or decorative trims, we recommend a professional who works with eveningwear textiles to restore both polish and structure.
Handmade in Sussex, England


The Finishing Touch
Every pair of gloves is delivered with care. Wrapped within our premium gift box, accompanied by a complimentary dust bag and handwritten note. It doesn’t get more personal than that.

Fabric and fit were amazing. I had them customized with a mousquetaire. Loved the sparkle of the buttons! The vent and bow added a subtle feminine flare. I was the only one who wore gloves but they were such a hit and everyone asked about them! Also, from the time I ordered them to the time they were at my house was less than a week.

When I saw this new style of glove through an email campaign, I was instantly smitten and knew they'd be perfect for an upcoming event. Drama, grace, elegance- this design has it all! I wish it had been available for my wedding a few months prior. Nevertheless, it will be perfect for an upcoming gala. Very thick, high-quality fabric, stiff bow, the customization is wonderful. Be sure to measure carefully, or ask a friend to assist, as fit can be tricky for this style. The team is also fantastic at assisting you!
