Don’t you just love ‘brass’ buttons? Our Françoise has four - two on each glove! Way to go. They are truly functional - working to link the cuff - but their real purpose is to make you feel good and ready to face the World. A 'go to', everyday glove that has charisma and class in bundles. Pure silk lining.
Wrist Length. 2 inch glove. This is measured from where the thumb seam meets the wrist, to the opening of the glove.
Ethiopian Cabretta leather, derived from the highland hair sheep of Ethiopia’s pristine plateaus, is revered as the world’s finest glovemaking material. Its unparalleled softness, achieved through the hide’s fine grain and natural suppleness, drapes the hand like a second skin, while its remarkable durability ensures timeless elegance. Expertly tanned using age-old techniques, this leather offers a flawless balance of breathability and grip, making it the choice of connoisseurs for gloves that embody sophistication and precision.
The more you wear them, the better they look. That’s why leather gloves aren’t just accessories — they’re something personal. They soften with your every movement, remember your shape, and gain character over time. They don’t ask for much, just that you handle them with care, not control.
A mark or a bit of weather isn’t a tragedy — it’s part of the story. But when they need your help, leather gloves respond best to time and restraint. No rubbing, no shortcuts, and certainly no heat.
Forget conditioners and quick fixes. To lift a mark, dust on a touch of talcum powder, smooth it with a dry cloth, and leave it be for a couple of days. If your gloves get wet, blot gently, reshape them softly, and let them dry at their own pace — away from the radiator, the sun, or any artificial heat.
Apply talcum powder over marks with a dry cloth. Leave for 48 hours, then dust off gently. If wet, blot carefully, reshape, and air dry naturally. Never fold or store while damp.
If your gloves become stiff, lose their shape or develop persistent stains, a leather care specialist can restore their structure and surface without compromising their character.
Handmade in Naples, Italy

The Finishing Touch
Every pair of gloves is delivered with care. Wrapped within our premium gift box, accompanied by a complimentary dust bag and handwritten note. It doesn’t get more personal than that.

I love the fact that Cornelia James gloves are not only high quality but that they still make leather gloves in a size 6. It's not easy at all to find gloves when one has small hands, and to find gloves that are so beautiful makes these extra special. I love the gold buttons.

Love these gloves so much, I bought another pair in a different color. Buttery soft and glamourous. I have long fingers and the 8.5 sized gloves fit perfectly!
