Carisa | Tulle Opera Glove – Black

Elbow Length. This is a 12 inch glove. This is measured from where the thumb seam meets the wrist, to the opening of the glove.

Tulle derives its name from the city of Tulle, France, where it was first manufactured in the 18th Century. Our tulle comes from Italy, and remains one of the most romantic glove materials out there. Tulle is wonderfully light and intricately netted, which gives it a sense of both daintiness and allure.

Tulle has presence without weight — a veil of elegance that floats rather than fits. It’s delicate, yes, but not as fragile as it looks. What it needs most is stillness: low agitation, soft water, space to dry. Treated properly, it holds its shape beautifully and keeps its lightness.

There’s no need for drama. Tulle just wants calm.

Let It Float

Wash inside a delicates bag and give it room. Don’t cram it in with heavy fabrics or aggressive spin cycles. Once clean, lay flat to dry and smooth out any folds or embellishments while still damp. You’re guiding, not forcing.

Care Method

Place in a mesh laundry bag and wash on a cold, delicate cycle. Lay flat to dry on a towel. Gently reshape by hand. Never twist, wring or expose to heat.

If Volume or Detail Is Compromised

For layered tulle or gloves with decorative accents, a textile specialist familiar with bridalwear or evening materials can restore shape and finish with precision.
