Calypso | Satin Opera Glove

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.

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.
