Quirk’s original Greco-Roman drawing, in cream and black against burgundy crushed velour. These long gloves bring a little classical drama to a simple dress or tailored jacket.
Handmade to order · One pair · Small–Large
Soft stretch fit; approximately 16 inches (40.6 cm) from wrist to upper hem. Choose by the hand-measurement guide below.
Melynda’s ballpoint-pen linework gives each profile its character, while the crushed texture shifts the burgundy ground in the light. Keep the artwork visible with a bare arm or let the glove meet a jacket sleeve; the cream faces make a graphic contrast against darker tailoring.

Classical faces, with somewhere better to be than a museum. Our Greco-Roman velvet opera gloves set Quirk’s original hand-drawn illustration against a deep burgundy ground. Black lines pick out the curls and profiles of the pale busts; crushed velour gives the print a shifting, light-catching surface.
The print began as Melynda’s original ballpoint-pen line drawing. The marks of her hand give the classical busts their character: a familiar art-history reference, drawn with Quirk’s sense of mischief.
The long silhouette makes the most of the artwork. Wear them with a sleeveless black dress to leave the print uninterrupted, or let the cuffs disappear beneath a tailored jacket. A plain outfit gives the faces room; a burgundy accent elsewhere brings the look together.
Measure around your knuckles, then measure from the tip of your middle finger to the base of your hand. Compare both measurements below. These are hand measurements, not clothing-size equivalents; a Small glove does not mean a Small dress size. For an idea of where the top will sit, measure 16 inches up your arm from the wrist.
| Glove size | Around knuckles | Middle fingertip to base of hand |
|---|---|---|
| Small | 16–17.8 cm / 6.3–7 in | 16–17 cm / 6.3–6.7 in |
| Medium | 17.9–20.3 cm / 7–8 in | 17.1–18 cm / 6.7–7.1 in |
| Large | 20.4–21.6 cm / 8–8.5 in | 18.1–19 cm / 7.1–7.5 in |
Inch equivalents are rounded from the centimeter measurements. The fabric stretches, but a comfortable fit should let you move your hand naturally. If your measurements fall between sizes, ask us about glove fit before ordering.
