"In her eyes I see something more beautiful than the stars". Desdemona is the classic, full length opera glove in pure silk jersey. Silk jersey is a perfect fabric for gloves. It is 100% silk but has a natural elasticity which means that it clings like a glove should cling, feels marvellous on the arm and has a quiet lustre that speaks volumes.
Longitud de la ópera. Se trata de una 16 pulgadas guante. Se mide desde donde la costura del pulgar se une con la muñeca, hasta la abertura del guante.
Durante siglos, la seda ha seguido siendo un material importante para la fabricación de guantes. Su bello tacto y aspecto le han proporcionado una gran reputación desde los tiempos de reyes y reinas. Nuestro suave punto de pura seda mantiene la tradición y sigue siendo usado por la realeza hoy en día.
If you'd like to see a swatch of this material in this colour before you decide, you can order one here.
La seda no grita: susurra. Hay una confianza tranquila y discreta en los guantes de seda: frescos al tacto, sutilmente luminosos, infinitamente refinados. Pero refinamiento no significa fragilidad. Lo que la seda necesita es suavidad: en el agua, en el movimiento y en el tiempo.
Manejada adecuadamente, la seda le recompensa con longevidad y elegancia a partes iguales.
Cuando se trata de seda, menos es más. Lávela en frío, con suavidad y nunca con prisas. Una bolsa para prendas delicadas añade una capa extra de cuidado. Después, deje los guantes en posición horizontal para que se sequen y vuelva a darles forma tranquilamente con las manos. El vapor puede ayudar - pero sólo a distancia.
Dé la vuelta a los guantes y lávelos en una bolsa de malla en un ciclo frío y delicado. Colóquelos en posición horizontal para secarlos. Evite escurrirlos o plancharlos directamente. Nunca los seque en secadora.
Para la seda arrugada, opaca o descolorida, le recomendamos un profesional textil con experiencia en fibras naturales delicadas. Restaurarán el acabado del guante sin debilitar su tejido.
Hecho a mano en Sussex, Inglaterra


El toque final
Cada par de guantes se envía con mucho esmero. Se presenta en nuestra caja de regalo de alta calidad, acompañado de una bolsa protectora de regalo y una nota escrita a mano. No hay nada más personal que eso.

The gloves feel perfect to wear, so comfortable. They keep my arms warm when it's cool and cool when it's warm, and add a perfect flair to my look while doing it. The most functional accessory I've bought in a long time. Unfortunately I apparently had a hard time measuring my arm diameter, so the gloves fall down constantly. I intend to see if they can be altered to fit slightly better. But this is not Cornelia James' fault; they have excellent directions on how to measure your dimensions. I just fell between two sizes and guessed wrong on which to order.

Thrilled. Had a video call to receive styling advice and help selecting a glove for my wedding. The woman was so helpful. I received my gloves very quickly and they're perfect! I am so happy to have purchased these for this special occasion. They fit perfectly and the silk looks elegant and timeless. I considered satin but a glad I got silk. The ring window will also be such during the ceremony. I'm also glad I ordered swatches ahead of time.

These gloves were perfect. I wore them for my wedding so I really wanted gloves that were high quality and looked elegant. I tried multiple gloves from other vendors and none of them even came close to the fit and quality of the Cornelia James gloves. They are comfortable and fit really well. I will definitely be wearing them again. I got the ring window which was PERFECT--such a great idea. Would definitely recommend to anyone wanting top quality, investment gloves.

After a misstep ordering a different pair of gloves that did not match my outfit, I scheduled a video call with the Cornelia James team to discuss options. They advised me beautifully and exchanged the gloves for a pair that looked truly beautiful. The new gloves were with me in 24 hours. I wore ivory silk (Phoebe) opera gloves, and when I saw photos of the wedding later, they looked even more beautiful than I had realized while wearing them. I wore them while dancing -- the ivory color glove stood out when I had my hand against my dance partner's dark jacket! I recommend Cornelia James without hesitation and am looking for excuses to buy more gloves! Thank you to the Cornelia James team!
