The Lady Lux Fix
“Design student flees Nazi scourge, arrives in England with suitcase full of fabrics, finds fame and fortune as glove maker to the Queen”. It’s the stuff of legends and 60 years on the fashion business founded by Cornelia James continues to flourish.
Cornelia had studied art and design in Vienna and arrived in England as a refugee in 1939. After the war, in a world made drab by rationing, the leather gloves that she made in a huge range of colours became fashion essentials. Vogue magazine profiled her as “the colour Queen of England” and Cornelia quickly established a thriving business supplying gloves to couturiers and leading stores. By appointment to Her Majesty the Queen, Cornelia James has been producing gloves in England for 75 years.
