Hermione | Satin Opera Glove – Black
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.
Let It Glide
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.
Care Method
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 Shape and Surface Clarity
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

I ordered these gloves off the website. The website told me how to measure for the correct size and it worked beautifully! I couldn’t be happier with the gloves that I ordered.

Elegant gloves
These gloves are elegant, comfortable and well-fitting. They do not work on the surface of an iPhone which is a nice excuse to leave the phone behind.

Absolutely beautiful
At the time of this review, I had not worn them. I ordered. Them for an event on the tenth of January. I ordered leather opera gloves. The presentation and Quality of the satin gloves far outweighed the presentation and packaging of the gloves.
