We've taken the classic long evening glove and made it just a little shorter to finish just above the elbow - a cut which is the perfect length to flatter the upper arm and perfect with a dress that has anything of a sleeve. Made in our classic Duchess satin.
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.
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.
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.
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 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

I purchased these classic gloves for my daughter for her Debutante ball. As soon as she tried them on, she commented on their perfect fit and beautiful shine. As a very petite teenager, it was very difficult to find a pair of gloves that fit. But these gloves are perfect. My daughter exudes confidence. Cornelia James is perfection. Thank you again.

I almost skipped out on getting gloves for our wedding but I am so glad I didn’t. They were stunning and such great quality. I got compliments all night.

Beautiful product even though I kept the Theodora ones because I was looking for a more discreet product (less shiny)
