Cornelia James | Luxury Gloves & Scarves

Cornelia James arrived in London in 1939 as an Austrian Jewish refugee with little more than a suitcase full of glove-making materials to her name. However, her colourful gloves were a rapid success and she was named ‘Colour Queen of England’ by Vogue not long afterwards. 80 years later and the business, now run by her daughter Genevieve, is the most esteemed luxury glove makers in the UK. Designs include a range of materials, from simple cotton to luxurious cashmere to hard-wearing leather. Although the brand is the glovemakers of choice to the world of fashion, the firm are not interested in mass-production or section. Each product is made with love by the firm’s tight-knit team. A single glove maker makes each product from start to finish, ensuring that their original vision reigns strong in the finished product.
