A wrist-length day glove in Pure Supima Cotton, finished with a contrast keyhole and bow at the cuff.
Our cotton starts life in California's San Joaquin Valley — one of the few places that grows true Supima — then travels to Fehraltorf in Switzerland, where it's knitted into a cotton jersey that is light, breathable, and rated UPF 50. It drapes cleanly without going limp, holds its shape through a long day, and feels cool against the skin even in full sun.
Annabel is a glove with a quiet point of view. The two-tone keyhole and bow give it just enough detail to catch the eye without competing with whatever else you're wearing. At wrist length, it slips on and off easily — the kind of glove you throw in your bag for a race day, a summer christening, or a lunch where you'd rather not arrive bare-handed.
Handmade by us in England. A warm-weather staple that earns its place in the drawer.
Wrist Length. This is 1.5 inch glove. This is measured from where the thumb seam meets the wrist, to the opening of the glove.
Our Supima Cotton is grown in the San Joaquin Valley of California and knitted into pure Cotton Jersey in Fehraltorf, Switzerland. Lightweight and comfortable, it has remained the simple day glove material of choice for good reason. The cotton is rated UPF 50, offering the highest level of protection against the sun's ultraviolet rays.
Swiss cotton is tailored restraint — crisp, breathable, and beautifully structured. It’s not delicate, but it is precise. A glove made from Swiss cotton holds its shape naturally, so long as you don’t crowd it or rush the wash.
Think of it as a lightweight classic that thrives with quiet discipline.
Let it breathe. Place your gloves inside a mesh bag and wash with a small load. Avoid wringing or spinning too hard. Once clean, lay them flat, and take a moment to adjust the edges and trims before they dry.
Machine wash cold in a mesh delicates bag on a gentle cycle. Dry flat. Reshape as needed. Avoid tumble drying and excessive friction.
For gloves with embroidery, scalloped edges or shape retention issues, a specialist in cotton tailoring can restore sharpness without compromising structure.
Handmade in Sussex, England

These remind me of the gloves my late Mother, Grandmothers and Aunts would wear in the sixties and seventies. I will feel very smart wearing all of the gloves I purchased whatever the occasion.

Really good to wear, and matches with almost everything. However, if the globe can be designed to be more touchscreen/computer mouse pad accessible that would be great!

I was overjoyed to receive my third pair of Cornelia James gloves. This time I chose the monochrome’Annabel’. The excitement I experience as I untie the little purple chiffon ribbon is akin to a child at Christmas! And there under tissue paper are my perfectly gorgeous, impeccable, statement gloves. The quality, the way they glide onto my hands, the luxurious feel, they are a stunning finish to every outfit I wear. What did I ever do before I discovered Cornelia? I could not be happier. Now which ones next?

Magical! I will definitely buy again. The gloves are beautiful and the whole experience was amazing. I never bought anything so special. When you open the box, it is a surprise and a delight. So in love with my gloves, worth every cent. I can't wait to wear them and to buy a lace pair. I also want to have one made in a special color. This was remarkable.
