Calypso | Satin Opera Glove – White 8½
Calypso | Satin Opera Glove – Azure
Dance 'til the dawn breaks or just dream. Duchess satin with Swarovski buttons, not just any satin glove but a satin glove with eight crystal buttons to add accent, allure - whatever it takes - in a way that makes a special glove that bit more special. When you need a glove that is a little bit more specific than a regular opera glove, this is probably the 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.
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

Elegance with a twist!
I own many, many pairs of Cornelia James gloves, but these are my favorite! A perfect fit, so elegant and svelte, very well-cut. I love the tasteful sparkle and saucy cut-outs. These gloves look just as good on short, curvier figures as they did on the tall, thin model-- don't hesitate to order your own!

Be ready to gasp!
I, literally, gasped when I opened the package. And, I gasped some more when I slipped them on. Perfection! They will definitely give me that Audrey Hepburn vibe I was hoping for. Thank you!
