Arabella | Tulle Opera Glove – Black
There are times when satin or silk is too formal, too stiff. On these occasions, Arabella is the glove for you. The tulle fabric, from which it is made, is soft, stylish and décontractée. It makes for a happy combination with almost all dress textures. Perfect for summer parties and perfect for summer weddings. These can be made completely plain or with the traditional mousquetaire button opening on the inside of the wrist as an extra option. This allows the hand to be removed from the glove whilst leaving the sleeve of the glove in the arm.
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.
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.
If you'd like to see a swatch of this material in this colour before you decide, you can order one here.
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.

I like them, but the fingers ended up being a bit short.
Overall a good pair of gloves. The fingers are a little short, so they do pull the gloves down. I did provide my finger measurement, but maybe some of my other fingers are on the longer side.

The perfect evening gloves
Since it’s custom made it took 12 days to receive the gloves from the day I placed the order. For me it was very fast given the gloves are handmade and made to measure. I was also pleased to see that I can wash them. When I tried them on I fell in love with them. The fit and the feeling were perfect.

Beautiful bespoke gloves! Service was second to none. I made a slight change to the order and they emailed me back right away to confirm the change. Packaging was gorgeous and the hand written thank you note enclosed was a nice touch. Highly recommend if you are looking for an elegant accessory to finish off your outfit.

Very fine tulle
I was worried when the gloves shipped immediately but they fit perfectly. I was initially going to order the shorter glove, but was advised to go longer because they'd be less fussy re: falling down, and I'm glad I did. Ring window is a beautiful detail, but my favorite is the seaming along the fingers. Exquisite.
