Elena - our new style this season - works a plain Tulle glove with the sharpest of satin cuffs to make a glove that provides perfect punctuation for dressing up and combines effortlessly with summer chiffons and spring tweeds. It's a very lightweight glove which carries a hint of gravity thanks to its satin cuff. Not your everyday glove - just a bit special.
Wrist Length. 2 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.
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.
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.
For layered tulle or gloves with decorative accents, a textile specialist familiar with bridalwear or evening materials can restore shape and finish with precision.
