Nicoletta | Satin Opera Glove – Pale Ivory 8½
Nicoletta | Satin Opera Glove – Pale Ivory
Nicoletta is a 16 inch satin opera glove which is rocking a very slightly retro vibe. It’s all in the detail. A subtle vent allows the glove to stand away from the upper arm and flatter it just a touch. The absence of cling is very reminiscent of the golden years - a little bit Hollywood and a whole lot of glamour. Just for divas.
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.
Handmade in Sussex, England

Wow!
I stumbled upon Cornelia James on an internet search for gloves for my wedding, and I have been blown away. Genevieve was incredibly helpful, she paid attention to every detail and wanted to make sure the gloves were perfect. You really don’t see customer service like this these days, I am very thankful to her and her team!! In addition, the gloves are perfect! Packaging was lovely, fit is just right, excellent quality. Overall, I’d recommend Cornelia James to anyone!!

Perfect Bridal Gloves
I can't say enough about the my new Nicoletta gloves and the Cornelia James team! I had a last minute bridal glove emergency and the Cornelia James team was able to guide me through the measurement process, custom make my bridal gloves, and get them in the mail in a single day. When the gloves arrived, they were PERFECT - elegant, luxurious, and with a perfect fit (I had the team shorten the Nicolletta gloves to a 12BL length). The team really saved the day. I would highly recommend this company and their products.
