Red strawberries, green and plush crushed velvet. Quirk creative director Melynda Choothesa’s original hand-drawn print turns these long opera gloves into a playful finishing touch.
The fruit print takes its cue from late 1960s/early 1970s motifs, while the long cuffs give it a theatrical twist. Try a plain black dress, or the matching wrap dress for the photographed look.
Gloves only; other pieces pictured are sold separately. Final sale for change of mind, subject to statutory rights. Returns information.

Strawberry opera gloves with enough colour to carry an outfit. Red berries tumble across a green ground, drawn by Quirk creative director, Melynda Choothesa. The original illustration keeps its loose, expressive lines when translated onto plush crushed velvet.
The fruit began as a watercolor-marker drawing by Quirk creative director Melynda Choothesa, inspired by the playful spring-and-summer prints of the late 1960s and early 1970s. Loose outlines and scattered seeds keep the drawing’s character. Put it on a long glove and the familiar berry becomes something a little less expected: retro sweetness with a theatrical streak.
The long, over-elbow shape is theatrical; the fruit print has a sense of humour. Soft, stretchy velour follows the hand and arm, with a crushed finish that catches the light. Each pair is handmade to order. Wear them with a simple dress and let the strawberries do the talking, or mix them with another print as shown in our photographs.
Measure around your knuckles, then from the tip of your middle finger to the base of your hand. Use both measurements to choose a size. These are measurements of your hand, not the finished glove. The height of the cuff on your upper arm will vary with your proportions.
| 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 |
If your measurements fall into different sizes, ask us for help choosing your gloves before ordering.
Wear the gloves with the matching jersey wrap dress and bandana for the look in our model photographs. Or let them be the only print against a simple black dress. The same artwork also appears on crushed-velour trousers, shorts and a reversible bucket hat. Each piece is sold separately; color and background can vary across fabrics and products.
