A full opera length glove, ‘Hermione’ is the glove to choose when you want to dress to the nines. Perfect for balls, perfect for weddings. It is as classic as it can get and - made in our Duchess Satin - it is sleek, elegant and with exactly the right amount of glimmer. This glove tells a story that people will want to hear.
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.
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

The gloves in light ivory shade matches my gown perfectly, and the fit is absolutely flawless — in fact, out of everything I’ve ordered for my wedding, these gloves are the only piece that needed no alterations at all. I also loved the ring window. When the gloves arrived, they were beautifully packaged and accompanied by a thoughtful handwritten card, which made the experience feel so personal. The craftsmanship and attention to detail are exceptional. Without a doubt, my favourite purchase for my wedding has to be these gloves. They are timeless, elegant, and everything I hoped they would be. I cannot wait to wear them on the big day.

When I walked in to the black tie event for the Kentucky Derby, I honestly felt like a princess. The gloves made the outfit and it was so elegant and if I had a dollar for every compliment that I received, I would’ve paid for the gloves 10 times over. Thank you so much Lourdes and everyone at Cornelia James

High quality gloves , they sent swatches which I selected the color of my wedding dress and gave me store credit for the swatches when I ordered, glad I did that. They also custom fit the gloves to be a little longer than 16 inches, I’m very happy. Worth it!

These gloves are thick and opaque. The bridal stores where I am (USA) wanted $70 to $80 for cheap gloves that were see thru and pilling right out-of the package. I was happy to pay a little extra to get a really good product. The fabric swatches were really helpful and so glad they gave me a store credit after buying the samples

I finally truly understood the phrase “fits like a glove” once I received these! An absolute perfect fit for someone with long fingers and thin hands and arms which if you’re like me you know that’s hard to find! Stunning craftsmanship, beautifully made, and definitely add that extra something to my bridal look.
