GLOVEMAKER BY ROYAL APPOINTMENT
We're proud to be family-owned for three generations. 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.
Discover our lightest gloves for the warmest days, hand-cut white leather and Swiss cotton, made in our Sussex atelier.

Our Founder
From Refugee to The Queen's Glovemaker
When Cornelia James arrived in England in 1939 as a refugee from Nazi occupied Vienna, she brought with her nothing but a suitcase and a steely determination to succeed.
In 1947 the couturier Norman Hartnell asked her to make gloves to accessorise the then Princess Elizabeth’s ‘going away’ outfit on the occasion of her marriage to Prince Philip. In 1979 she became glovemaker ‘by appointment’ to Her Majesty the Queen Elizabeth II.
Three generations later, the family business is still making gloves by hand in Sussex, England. Experience is measured in years, but success is marked in moments made special by great gloves.
