Description

Psychedelic opera gloves with rolling bands of pink, orange, yellow, black and white. The 60’s Swirl print follows the arm from fingertip to upper cuff, while crushed velvet gives the colours a softer, shifting finish. Think late-sixties graphics with a little evening glamour.

60’s Swirl opera gloves in crushed velvet

These are modern gloves inspired by the 1960s, handmade to order in soft, stretchy velour. The long cut sits above the elbow; the exact cuff position depends on your proportions. Each pair measures approximately 16 inches (40.6 cm) from wrist to hem, and either glove can be worn on either hand.

  • Multicolour swirl print with a 1960s influence
  • Crushed velvet with stretch and a plush surface
  • Long, over-elbow silhouette
  • Small, Medium and Large, selected by hand measurements
  • One pair of gloves; other items pictured are sold separately

Choose your glove size

Measure around your knuckles and from the tip of your middle finger to the base of your hand. Compare both measurements with the guide below. The chart describes your hand size, not the length of the glove. If your measurements point to different sizes, contact us for help with glove sizing before ordering.

Glove sizing in inches and centimeters
Size Around knuckles Hand length
Small 6–7 in / 16–17.8 cm 6–6.7 in / 16–17 cm
Medium 7.1–8 in / 17.9–20.3 cm 6.8–7 in / 17.1–18 cm
Large 8.1–8.5 in / 20.4–21.6 cm 7.1–7.5 in / 18.1–19 cm

Styling the swirl

A clean black dress gives the print room; a matching print makes the whole outfit move together. Our photographs show both the length and the velvet texture alongside coordinating separates. Those pieces and accessories are not included. For a more figurative print in the same long silhouette, see the Tastes Like Strawberry opera gloves.

Quirk for Fire Vicitms has been such a special place for me. I have found wonderful clothes to get myself started after losing my home in Pacific Palisades. The boutique is clean, organized and the volunteers are so kind and helpful. Melinda who runs has become my friend and I have run into other friends who lost their homes and met many new ones. 5 stars plus another 5 stars

As an enthusiast of cool articles of clothing from from then to now and back again, I discovered a gem in dtla called Quirk! Co-owner Melynda always creates the best experience whenever I stop by...much like like visiting a friend and unlike some vintage shops there's always something new in rotation. Do yourself a favor folks and stop by!

Melynda totally saved the day! She came on a magical unicorn and brought me my dress! I was searching for a dress for a wedding that went with their Great Gatsby theme and was totally not sure where to begin and what to wear. She helped me find a necklace and a dress here at the shop that was absolutely perfect! I got a gold and gunmetal tassel necklace and a robin egg's blue lace Tracy Reese dress. She was even kind enough to alter the shoulders for me since the wedding was the day of! They even had a funny wedding card that for the bride and groom! Mission accomplished, now just have to get a scarf or headpiece for my head to complete the theme and Melynda gave me some tips!! Will be back for next time when I need her expertise. They have an always shifting collection of curated vintage and new clothing. Love Quirk LA!

I volunteered at Quirk all afternoon today, and there is so much love and support alive in that space. They are overwhelmed with so many incredible donations and every single thing is being sorted and placed directly into the free shop where fire victims can come shop and get what they need. All items are the same quality you would find in a thrift store like Buffalo Exchange. There were volunteers helping people find clothing items that fit and served their needs while they’re grappling with the loss of their homes and belongings. There are so many ways fire victims need support and this is one of them! Thank you Quirk and the other amazing organization and businesses stepping up to help our community!

5 stars for what they are doing for the community but not for my personal experience. They were listed on the wildfire Google sheet / website as one of the few places still accepting donations, so I brought all my unworn clothes over. The address on the website and online is not the correct one, so had to get back in my car and find new parking closer to the new location. Then I get inside and they said donations are by appointment only. 30 minute drive and a lot of parking hassle with nothing to show for it. Would be nice if they updated their donation status and location on the Google sheet. Annoying for me but glad they are helping those in need. The new location is in the photo.

I finally walked in after walking by for years when I heard they were in need for volunteers for their donation drive. I'm ashamed I haven't found this store before. The owner is fantastic, she hopped out of a hospital bed and straight to setting up this push to help people. The store, as it's known, on the fourth floor feels like you are thriving with some of the most upbeat staff to aid you find everything you need for woman's clothing, toiletries, and undergarments. On the second is where you can find an almost equal amount of men's, rare to have this ratio in any department store. Kids all the way down to infants, with diapers, and toys. Here you can see volunteers going from room to room sorting through, sizing, and cleaning up donations to stock both floors. Snacks, water, non-perishable food, and a welcome environment has made this a far distinction from digging through a pile of T-shirts on a folding table. My time volunteering here has been exhausting in the best way, the tiredness that comes with knowing you've done good, that your work and presence are valued. I'll continue to be here everyday I can until Melynda gets tired of me saying, "Happy ___day!" We're still here!

Just the most fabulous place and people ever My pockets have been tight, but I consistently find myself thinking about this shop and its owner. Not to mention that I'm reminded when I happen upon or wear one of my Quirk purchases. Need to go back soon!

I cannot say enough glowing words about Quirk. It's the absolute best. I've come several times since 2020 and they never miss. Melynda is a top-tier curator. All her pieces feel hand-picked with thought, care, and a keen eye for taste and style. It's easy to find a great deal here: I've found a vintage Dior wallet at Quirk, as well as multiple outfits for red carpets, premieres, photoshoots, and day-to-day wear. She keeps prices super fair and reasonable while knowing her stuff when it comes to true vintage, designer, and quality. I always know I'm getting my money's worth. As a stylist, Melynda is a true treat and I highly recommend working with her. Whether it's working on a tight budget and creating 15-30 looks from vintage pieces, or an expanded budget that can pull from showrooms and designer pieces, or even creating a custom piece--Melynda knows how to meet the needs of every budget and occasion and go above and beyond. She puts in the work when it comes to event research and advocates for a client's personal taste. She has styled high-profile clients and costumed network television shows--it's hard to find someone who knows more about true vintage and eras than Melynda! As someone who loves vintage shopping, thrifting, and flea/artist/vintage markets, I'm always looking for vendors and stores, and Quirk is one of those special places where you can tell vintage is a real passion, not just a place to make a quick buck on a Tiktok trend (though you can definitely find super trendy pieces here too!). At Quirk, I'd say clothes are treated like found treasure looking for their forever home! I come back again and again because the pieces are fun and always changing. As a store owner, Melynda is friendly, knowledgable, and is great at offering styling advice for each customer's unique taste. She keeps such a positive shopping atmosphere in the store. I'll always keep returning!
