The first week of The Traitors is over, and it didn’t take long for the real star of the show to make an appearance – Claudia Winkleman’s fingerless gloves. This accessory, handpicked by her stylist Sinead McKeefry, has become a staple in Claudia’s highland country outfits, and this season is no different.
If you’ve ever wondered where to get your own pair, Sinead has spilled the beans on exactly which pair Claudia is wearing. After a fan asked her on Instagram, Sinead revealed that Claudia’s gloves are the Cashmere Donegal Wristwarmers from Brora, a Scottish brand known for its cashmere.
Fans were quick to compliment the look, with one commenting: “More triumphs, more great PR for fingerless gloves” on Sinead’s photo of Claudia sporting the cosy accessory. The Scottish brand also made an appearance in one of Claudia’s first episode outfits, when she wore the £139 Brora Organic Cotton Pie Crust Blouse to announce the first contestant who had been ‘murdered’ the night before.
Claudia’s cashmere wrist warmers will cost you £79, and are handknitted in Scotland from 100% cashmere yarn. This means they’re incredibly soft and warm, perfect for keeping your hands cosy during winter while still allowing you to use your fingers for tasks like typing, using touch screens and driving.
Claudia seems to have chosen the ebony colour to match her dark wardrobe on The Traitors, but the yarn used has small colourful flecks for a unique look. If you fancy something more vibrant, the cashmere wrist warmers are also available in navy, red and blue.
If Claudia’s exact Brora Cashmere Donegal Wristwarmers are a bit pricey for you, we’ve found a fantastic alternative on Amazon. The Zeltauto Women’s Cashmere Blend Knit Arm Warmers are currently discounted from £12.97 to £9.95.
While they’re not pure cashmere like Claudia’s Brora pair, they’re made of a cashmere-blend material, which keeps them affordable while still being soft and warm. They’re also longer than Claudia’s, extending up to your elbow for extra warmth and layering during winter.
You can pick from 11 different colours, including dark charcoal grey, black and navy for a Traitors-inspired look, or go for brighter shades like lilac, sky blue and turquoise if you prefer more playful colours.
If you’re after a pair of 100% cashmere gloves that won’t break the bank, Johnstons of Elgin has just slashed the price of its Cashmere Wrist Warmers from £85 to £55. These cosy accessories are made from two-ply cashmere and come in a range of colours inspired by the Scottish Highlands, including olive, rust or light grey shades, reports the Mirror.
