A full opera length glove, ‘Hermione’ is the glove to choose when you want to dress to the nines. Perfect for balls, perfect for weddings. It is as classic as it can get and - made in our Duchess Satin - it is sleek, elegant and with exactly the right amount of glimmer. This glove tells a story that people will want to hear.
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.

My beautiful opera gloves arrived last week and I quickly tried them on with a dress I love but have been considering changing out because it does not have long sleeves. The gloves did the job, pulled it all together! Thank you!

Stunningly gorgeous gloves. My inner 13 year old is healed. I have always wanted fancy opera length gloves for as long as I can remember (I'm now 50!) and very grateful these are now mine!

Cornelia James was fantastic! I ordered gloves for my wedding (I am in the US) and I ordered the wrong color twice! My dress is a slightly off-white and it's hard to tell when shopping online sometimes. Cornelia James helped me so much with color selection and they were so easy to work with. Each new pair arrived quickly and it was no hassle to return my mistakes. Each pair of gloves were so well made and fit beautifully. They were also quick to reply if I had any questions on sizing. Great experience overall!

The gloves are beautiful. I received several compliments at the event. I would have gone the Amazon route and purchased cheap gloves had I not seen the website when doing research on white tie formal attire. The investment was worth it and allowed me to create a new look with a gown I’d worn before.

The most fitting gloves considering self-measurement while ordering. Beautiful fabric and very glamorous. The only issue is the girth of the fingers - my wife’s ones are particularly delicate and there’s still room in the gloves’ fingers (she said she’d love it to be more fitting). Otherwise a beautiful pair.
