Cornelia James
Cornelia James is all about gloves and perfecting this simple yet beautiful accessory to a T. After the war, in a world made drab by rationing, the leather gloves that Cornelia James made in a huge range of colours became fashion essentials. Vogue magazine profiled her as “the colour Queen of England” and Ms. James quickly established a thriving business supplying gloves to couturiers and leading retailers. Her eponymous firm has held a Royal Warrant since 1979, and The Duchess of Cambridge has joined The Queen and other royal ladies in making Cornelia James her go-to glovemaker.
