Description

Yellow star opera gloves with a character of their own. The You Are a Star print features a star in cat-eye sunglasses and black boots, drawn by Quirk founder and designer Melynda using watercolor pens. Black outlines stand out against a white ground, while crushed velvet gives the illustration a soft sheen.

The story behind You Are a Star

This is Melynda’s original hand-drawn artwork. Asked whether the character is a boy or a girl, her answer is simple: “It’s a star!” That playful independence feels right at home on a pair of long evening gloves. Meet Melynda and learn more about Quirk.

Yellow star opera gloves in crushed velvet

These long gloves are handmade to order in stretchy velour. The over-elbow silhouette gives the star print room to run from the fingers up the arm, with approximately 16 inches (40.6 cm) from wrist to hem. The exact position above your elbow will depend on your arm length. Each order includes one pair, and either glove can be worn on either hand.

  • Yellow stars with black outlines on white
  • Plush crushed velvet finish with stretch
  • Long, over-elbow cut
  • Small, Medium and Large
  • One pair; other clothing and accessories in the photographs are not included

Choose by hand measurements

Use a tape measure around your knuckles and from the tip of your middle finger to the base of your hand. Compare both measurements with this chart. The measurements describe your hand, not the finished glove. If you fall between sizes or the measurements suggest different sizes, contact us for sizing help 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

Let the stars lead

Wear them with a black sleeveless dress to keep the print in focus, or pick up the yellow with a single accessory. A bare neckline leaves the long gloves room to be the main detail. Prefer a cool-toned print? See our turquoise Quirk opera gloves in the same long silhouette.

Ordering for an occasion

These gloves are handmade to order. Review the shipping and delivery information before choosing them for a particular event. Please check your measurements carefully: made-to-order pieces are final sale for change of mind, except where a return is required by law. Your rights for faulty, incorrect or misdescribed items are unaffected. Our returns policy explains how to contact us if there is a problem.

I had a really good experience at Quirk. Its located in DTLA which is known to give you headaches with parking. Luckily there were several fairly priced garage options on the same block. The shop is located on the second floor of this cool, early 20th century style building. I love vintage buildings so I was hyped before I even stepped into Quirk. But once inside I was really digging the vibes. They have a really selection of vintage, modern clothes for women and men. With assistance of the curator, Melynda, I was able to grab a few items for an upcoming headshot session. I didn't have to break the bank as the items I purchased were from a $20 rack. I will def go again. I highly recommend checking it out.

My friends and I had a very pleasant and wonderful visit at Quirk. I got these beautiful snake skin shoes with a vintage neck scarf which i also fall in love with. I got compliments from people every time i wear them. I wanted to buy everything when I was there. There are jewelry, scarfs , shoes, dresses and the HATS. The price is very affordable so I was a happy shopper. The next best thing ( or the best ) about Quirk is the shop owner, Melynda. She is friendly and extremely helpful in helping you putting your dream outfits together and giving you advices when you needed them. She makes my shopping experience fun and comfortable. The shop is beautiful. I love the warmth and the openness of the shop. It stands out in the middle of the busy downtown LA streets. I will definitely come back and visit again when I come back to LA.

Favorite place to shop. Melynda always has the best treasures and she does custom designs. I bought a vintage dress from her to wear to a Gucci event, and I got soooo many compliments! Go now. This is definitely a must shop place in DTLA .

This is the cutest store with a really well curated selection. Makes sense because the owner is a renowned stylist who has worked here and abroad. 10/10 recommend.

I had such a wonderful time at Quirk. As someone who has never been to a fashion district and who has never been styled before, I hadn't extraordinary time getting to know my own sense of fashion. Melynda was so dope and helpful. She helped style me and gave me a new fresh look. I ended up buying something off of the $20 rack so she has affordable options as well. Definitely coming back again for my next shopping trip!

Shop filled with vintage and new clothing curated by a pro at helping you look good. Easy to access, clean and neat and very cool. If you don't know how cool Los Angeles is, stop by here and get an introduction and some clothes and accessories.

Looking for unique style with a personal touch? Look no further than Quirk. From the moment I walked in, I felt like a VIP. The owner, Melynda, is not just a salesperson; she's a magician with fashion. She effortlessly picked out pieces that perfectly suited my taste and body type, creating looks I never imagined possible. The selection of vintage clothing is unparalleled, each piece telling its own story. Whether you're a seasoned vintage lover or a newbie, [Owner's Name] will elevate your wardrobe to new heights. Thank you for the fabulous experience!

QUIRK is 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 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! Love love love it!

I volunteered at The People's Free Boutique while it was still in its temporary space, and I am better for it. It is a wonderful resource, Melynda has been so organized, compassionate, and all around an amazing leader for this huge effort to assist those impacted by the Eaton and Palisades fires. Through some folks' worst days, Melynda and the Quirk team were there. It's amazing that Melynda has kept it up for as long as she has, and I hope the People's Free Boutique can stay open as long as there is a community need.
