Isla is our new everyday style in Swiss Cotton Jersey. No airs or pretensions, just two small buttons (we do love a button) and a keyhole. Neat, simple and perfect for summer wear - excellent UV protection and hand washable.
Wrist Length. This is 1.5 inch glove. This is measured from where the thumb seam meets the wrist, to the opening of the glove.
Our Supima Cotton is grown in the San Joaquin Valley of California and knitted into pure Cotton Jersey in Fehraltorf, Switzerland. Lightweight and comfortable, it has remained the simple day glove material of choice for good reason. The cotton is rated UPF 50, offering the highest level of protection against the sun's ultraviolet rays.
Swiss cotton is tailored restraint — crisp, breathable, and beautifully structured. It’s not delicate, but it is precise. A glove made from Swiss cotton holds its shape naturally, so long as you don’t crowd it or rush the wash.
Think of it as a lightweight classic that thrives with quiet discipline.
Let it breathe. Place your gloves inside a mesh bag and wash with a small load. Avoid wringing or spinning too hard. Once clean, lay them flat, and take a moment to adjust the edges and trims before they dry.
Machine wash cold in a mesh delicates bag on a gentle cycle. Dry flat. Reshape as needed. Avoid tumble drying and excessive friction.
For gloves with embroidery, scalloped edges or shape retention issues, a specialist in cotton tailoring can restore sharpness without compromising structure.
Handmade in Sussex, England
The Finishing Touch
Every pair of gloves is delivered with care. Wrapped within our premium gift box, accompanied by a complimentary dust bag and handwritten note. It doesn’t get more personal than that.

My Swisd cotton day gloves went besutifully with my Sky Blue dress with white floral e.bellishment just at the batteau neck. Bought to accessorise my Mother of the Bride John Charles Dress and hat. My Cornelia James glove were a real treat. They arrived in a beautiful presentation box, where I will store my gloves always. The words Audrey Hepburn and Sophia Loren where used to compliment my outfit and I absolutely attribute that to my white Isla Cornelia James gloves. Now I am addicted and know it wont be my last pair of Cornelia James. Beautiful personal gift for someone special.

I'm beyond happy with my purchase. I've been looking to minimize sun damage to my hands and still wanted to look a bit put together and these gloves are perfect for it. They're so well made and the fit was spot on. Shipping was quick and the packaging was spectacular. These gloves won't be my last pair from Cornelia James.
