Glovemakers by Royal Appointment
We're proud to be family-owned for three generations. We've been making our gloves in Sussex, England, since Cornelia started in 1946. We put a lot into a pair of our gloves. Not least, 96 inches of stitching, each one executed with care and precision to make a glove fit to stand the test of time. One glovemaker fashions the glove from start to finish and, when it's done, they put their name to it. It's personal.

The essentials
Make it personal
Initials, a ring window or a fit made to measure: the details that make a pair theirs alone.

Our founder
Cornelia James arrived in England in 1939 from Vienna. Three generations later the family still makes every glove in Sussex.
From the journal
There’s one thing that we’ve never needed to search for on Google: ‘how to wear long gloves?’ The reason for that is quite simple – we’re already experts in the art of wearing opera gloves. From the etiquette rules to fabric care, we’re clued-up completely. And you can be too, with just a little help from our handy guide.
The Wedding Glove: where do we even begin? We know how much you have to consider on a day as special as this, which is why we’ve established a guide on how pick the perfect gloves for your perfect day. Whether you’re after a classic satin white opera glove or a simple lace mitten, Cornelia James has a wide-range made to suit your bridal style. Trust us: you’re in good hands.
Caring for your leather gloves shouldn't be hard - if the quality is there in the first place you should have little to do at your end. A good leather glove, like ours, should retain its shape and definition for decades and very easily repay the initial cost. Nevertheless, we have seen first hand how 'well-loved' a pair of gloves can end up.
