Hooray for Melody. With ballerina ‘tutu’ cuff and a touch of Swarovski crystal glinting against black, midnight blue or bridal ivory, Melody is all about celebration. We’re thinking wedding bells, fireworks, 4th of July - any excuse to party, party, party… It's made from our renowned satin and with cuffs in a stiff net which will see you all the way through to the early hours.
Bracelet Length. This is a 5 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’m wearing a minimalist gown with bracelet sleeves and this adds the perfect flirty touch of fun and elegance for the receiving line. This is my third pair of your gloves and I love the fit, quality, and stylishness.

The packaging was almost as exquisite as the gloves. These are so elegant with a touch of flair. I think they will be in the family for many years to come.
