Named for Cornelia's granddaughter - Leonora. This glove is sweet and stylish. Made in our sueded cotton and finished with a button cuff link, for those occasions when only gold buttons will fit the bill . It's a glove that you can wear everyday but which will measure up when something a little bit special is required. The buttons are embossed to celebrate the founding of the business by Cornelia in 1946.
Wrist Length. 2 inch glove. This is measured from where the thumb seam meets the wrist, to the opening of the glove.
Our Sueded, Supima Cotton is grown in the San Joaquin Valley of California, knitted into cotton jersey in Derbyshire, England, then expertly brushed to provide that lovely, sueded feeling. As well as being the absolute classic day glove material, the cotton is rated UPF50+ for ultraviolet protection.

There’s an ease to sueded cotton — soft from the first touch, never flashy, always comfortable. It doesn’t need to be babied, just respected. With the right rhythm of care, this glove keeps its shape and surface for years.
Sueded cotton thrives on quiet consistency. No stress, no shortcuts — just warmth and calm.
Hand washing works best. Let the gloves rest in warm water with a mild soap, and move them gently. Don’t twist or scrub. Once clean, press between towels and reshape them while still damp. Dry flat and let gravity do the rest.
Wash by hand in warm water with pure soap flakes. Rinse well. Press in a towel to remove excess water. Lay flat to dry and reshape while damp. Avoid heat and machines.
If the cotton begins to stiffen or lose its brushed feel, a professional with experience in natural textiles can restore the softness without overhandling the surface.
Handmade in Sussex, England
The Finishing Touch

I cannot begin to do justice to my experience with this establishment. It’s nearly impossible to believe that a company that provides something, directly, to Her Majesty The Queen can make someone else feel special, but that is precisely what they are able to do here. The gloves drip with luxury. I am so very thrilled with my purchase, and I can assure anyone else, they will be too!
