Our glovemaking
The hub of our glovemaking operation is a small, flint walled building that was built some 150 years ago to house dairy cows. All around us are pastures. A mile to the south, the green hills of the South Downs separate us from the salt seas of the English Channel.
It takes a lot to make a good pair of gloves. Great fabrics, selected with great care from mills large and small, skill and people with a passion for making things just right.
Almost everything we make is made to order. So that the person who is making your gloves knows exactly what you want in terms of glove size, style and dimensions. They will also know your name and you will know theirs because, when they’ve finished your gloves and they’re completely happy with them, they will sign the tag to say so.

Glove Size
We make our gloves in hand sizes from 6 to 8½. To find your glove size, pass a tape measure around the widest part of your hand - usually over your knuckles, excluding the thumb. The result, in inches, is your glove size. If you are between two sizes, round down to the lower.

How do I guess someone's glove size?
If you are buying gloves for someone and don't know their glove size (and don't want to ruin the surprise), their height can indicate their most likely glove size. Please note, this is statistically most likely but won't be correct 100% of the time.
Applies to women only
| Height | Most likely glove size |
| Under 5'1" | 6½ |
| 5'1" to 5'6" | 7 |
| 5'7" to 5'8" | 7½ |
| 5'9" to 5'11" | 8 |
| Above 6' | 8½ |

Fresh, bright and new lace from Sophie Hallette in a short glove that’s cut just a little longer on the wrist for added presence. Perfect for summer dresses with short sleeves. Available in Black and Ivory.
Dimensions
Wrist Length. Iris is a 3 inch glove. This is measured from where the thumb seam meets the wrist, to the opening of the glove.
The time was when only certain classes of people were allowed to wear lace, such was its association with luxury. Thankfully, things have eased up a lot in recent centuries and the pure delight of wearing lace gloves is open to all. We buy our lace in Austria and in France where lace making skills have been handed down across the generations.
Care guide
Dry clean or hand wash with great care.
