  • Pure Cashmere

    100% Pure Cashmere

    Our cashmere is one of the true natural luxuries of our age. Combed from the underfleece of goats grazing at altitude in Mongolia, it travels to Scotland and the shores of Loch Leven to be spun into yarn and dyed. The purity and softness of the waters of the Loch are essential to the finish and the process is so natural that the water used can be returned to the Loch. It comes to us in the green hills of Sussex to be cut, sewn and fashioned into simply perfect gloves. For softness, colour and warmth there is no other material on earth that comes close. It is a simple, delightful fabric.

    Care guide

    The beauty of cashmere is in its softness — not just in feel, but in temperament. It’s a fibre that settles into your skin over time, growing more supple, more comfortable, more yours with each wear. But with that softness comes sensitivity. Cashmere doesn’t demand, but it does expect patience.

    Wash only when needed. Handle gently. Let it dry without rush. In return, it stays with you — light, warm, and quietly luxurious.

    Let It Soak

    Hand wash in lukewarm water with the mildest soap you have. Let the gloves rest, rinse them slowly, and never wring. Once clean, press them in a towel and reshape while damp. They don’t like heat, they don’t like tension — just time.

    Care Method

    Wash by hand in lukewarm water with pure soap flakes. Rinse thoroughly, press in a towel to absorb moisture, and dry flat. Reshape gently. Avoid heat, sunlight, or machines.

    If Fibres Begin to Dull

    If your gloves begin to lose their softness, pill excessively, or shrink, a knitwear specialist can refresh the surface and recover shape without weakening the fibres.

  • Duchess Satin

    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.

    Care guide

    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.

    Let It Glide

    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.

    Care Method

    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 Shape and Surface Clarity

    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.

  • Fine Lace

    89% Polyamide 11% Elastane

    Our beautiful lace comes from France and Austria: two houses who have, like us, remained steadfast in their commitment to traditional methods of craftsmanship. The use of nineteenth century looms gives it that extra fine detail we hold so dear to our hearts.

    Care guide

    Lace is more than decoration — it’s memory. A lace glove feels almost weightless on the hand, but never invisible. It’s feminine, intricate, and timelessly formal. Still, despite its delicacy, lace can be remarkably resilient when treated with a light touch.

    It doesn’t need special treatment — just thoughtful handling and space to move.

    Let It Unfold

    Machine washing is possible, but only on the gentlest cycle and always within a delicates bag. Give lace the space it needs. Don’t crowd the drum, and don’t rush the drying. Once clean, lay the gloves flat and let them breathe. Trims and bows may need a moment of reshaping by hand — nothing more.

    Care Method

    Wash cold on a delicate cycle inside a mesh bag. Dry flat. Reshape by hand. Avoid friction, heat, or spin cycles that may damage trims.

    When Detail Needs Preserving

    For lace gloves with vintage embroidery, beading or fragile structure, a professional cleaner familiar with bridal or formal accessories can refresh them safely and beautifully.

  • Jersey Merino Wool

    100% Pure Wool

    Our pure wool gloves are cut from a super fine jersey Merino wool. We make them in exactly the same way that we make all our gloves - 2 metres of painstaking stitching that joins tranks, fourchettes and thumbs. The end product is a pair of gloves that is beautifully styled, built to last and warm. The perfect Autumn/Winter glove.

    Care guide

    Merino is the quiet overachiever of natural fibres — warm when it’s cold, cool when it’s warm, and elegant all year round. What makes it special is not just how it performs, but how little it needs in return.

    Merino likes simplicity. Wash it gently, dry it slowly, and give it room to remember its shape.

    Let It Breathe

    Wash by hand, always in lukewarm water, and keep movement minimal. Press in a towel and lay flat to dry. While damp, ease the gloves back into their form. The fibre knows what to do — it just needs your help getting there.

    Care Method

    Hand wash with pure soap flakes. Rinse, press gently, and dry flat. Avoid friction, hanging, or heat.

    To Restore Balance and Elasticity

    If your gloves feel tight, flat or lose stretch, a wool care expert can revive their natural resilience without disturbing the knit.

  • Pure Silk

    100% Pure Silk Jersey

    For centuries, silk has remained an important material for glovemaking. It’s beautiful feel and appearance has afforded it a high reputation since the days of kings and queens. Our soft, pure silk jersey knit carries on the tradition and continues to be worn by royalty today.

    Care guide

    Silk doesn't shout — it whispers. There’s a calm, understated confidence in silk gloves: cool to the touch, subtly luminous, endlessly refined. But refinement doesn’t mean fragility. What silk needs is softness — in water, in movement, and in time.

    Handled properly, silk rewards you with longevity and elegance in equal measure.

    Let It Rest

    When it comes to silk, less is more. Wash cold, gently, and never in a rush. A delicates bag adds an extra layer of care. Afterward, leave the gloves flat to dry and reshape them quietly with your hands. Steam can help — but only at a distance.

    Care Method

    Turn gloves inside out and wash in a mesh bag on a cold, delicate cycle. Lay flat to dry. Avoid wringing or ironing directly. Never tumble dry.

    If Softness or Sheen Is Lost

    For creased, dulled or faded silk, we recommend a textile professional experienced in delicate natural fibres. They’ll restore the glove’s finish without weakening its weave.

    Care guide

    There’s an ease to sueded cotton — soft from the first touch, never flashy, always comfortable. It doesn’t need to be babied, just respected. With the right rhythm of care, this glove keeps its shape and surface for years.

    Sueded cotton thrives on quiet consistency. No stress, no shortcuts — just warmth and calm.

    Let It Soak

    Hand washing works best. Let the gloves rest in warm water with a mild soap, and move them gently. Don’t twist or scrub. Once clean, press between towels and reshape them while still damp. Dry flat and let gravity do the rest.

    Care Method

    Wash by hand in warm water with pure soap flakes. Rinse well. Press in a towel to remove excess water. Lay flat to dry and reshape while damp. Avoid heat and machines.

    When Softness Begins to Fade

    If the cotton begins to stiffen or lose its brushed feel, a professional with experience in natural textiles can restore the softness without overhandling the surface.

  • Pure Supima Cotton

    100% Pure Cotton

    Our Supima Cotton is grown in the San Joaquin Valley of California and knitted into pure Cotton Jersey in Fehraltorf, Switzerland.

    Care guide

    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 Flow

    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.

    Care Method

    Machine wash cold in a mesh delicates bag on a gentle cycle. Dry flat. Reshape as needed. Avoid tumble drying and excessive friction.

    For Precise Structure and Finish

    For gloves with embroidery, scalloped edges or shape retention issues, a specialist in cotton tailoring can restore sharpness without compromising structure.

  • Fine Tulle

    82% Polyamide 18% Elastane

    Tulle derives its name from the city of Tulle, France, where it was first manufactured in the 18th Century. Our tulle comes from Italy, and remains one of the most romantic glove materials out there. Tulle is wonderfully light and intricately netted, which gives it a sense of both daintiness and allure.

    Care guide

    Tulle has presence without weight — a veil of elegance that floats rather than fits. It’s delicate, yes, but not as fragile as it looks. What it needs most is stillness: low agitation, soft water, space to dry. Treated properly, it holds its shape beautifully and keeps its lightness.

    There’s no need for drama. Tulle just wants calm.

    Let It Float

    Wash inside a delicates bag and give it room. Don’t cram it in with heavy fabrics or aggressive spin cycles. Once clean, lay flat to dry and smooth out any folds or embellishments while still damp. You’re guiding, not forcing.

    Care Method

    Place in a mesh laundry bag and wash on a cold, delicate cycle. Lay flat to dry on a towel. Gently reshape by hand. Never twist, wring or expose to heat.

    If Volume or Detail Is Compromised

    For layered tulle or gloves with decorative accents, a textile specialist familiar with bridalwear or evening materials can restore shape and finish with precision.

  • Velvet

    90% Polyester 10% Elastane

    A little retro and a lot of glam, our velvet is positively lush. Soft to the touch and warm, too, velvet is surprisingly versatile and easy to wear. Find our velvet gloves in black and leopard print.

    • Black
    Care guide

    Velvet doesn’t whisper — it resonates. Rich in depth, texture and shadow, velvet gloves elevate any look the moment they appear. But their magic lies in the pile, and that pile is easily crushed. More than any other material, velvet asks to be left alone.

    Clean hands, cool air, and zero friction — that’s velvet’s language.

    Let It Rest

    Never wash velvet at home. Avoid folding or pressing the pile. Instead, store the gloves flat in a fabric bag or box, away from heat and light. When in doubt, do less — velvet doesn’t need help, just protection.

    Care Method

    Do not wash or press. Store flat in a cool, dark space. Avoid moisture, compression, or direct sunlight.

    Leave It to the Experts

    If velvet gloves are crushed, stained or misshapen, entrust them to a professional cleaner familiar with eveningwear fabrics and structured pile.
