Cornelia James studied art in Vienna before arriving in England as a
refugee in 1939. Seven years later she started up her glovemaking
company. Her reputation was sealed in 1952 when Princess Elizabeth (now
Queen Elizabeth II ) chose James to make her gloves for her marriage to Prince Philip .
The company is still in a family business today and, since 1986, they
have been glovemakers 'by appointment' to the British Royal Family.
