With the first week of The Traitors under our belts, we knew it wouldn’t be long before the real star of the show appeared on our screens – Claudia Winkleman’s fingerless gloves. The accessory, chosen by Claudia’s stylist Sinead McKeefry, has become a staple in the host’s highland country outfits, and this season is no exception.
But if you’ve ever wondered where you can get a pair for yourself, Sinead has revealed exactly where to shop the ones Claudia wears on the show. After one fan asked her on Instagram, Sinead shared that Claudia is wearing the Cashmere Donegal Wristwarmers from Brora, a Scottish clothing brand specialising in cashmere.

Fans of the show were quick to praise the look, with one commenting: “More triumphs, more great PR for fingerless gloves” on Sinead’s photo of Claudia wearing the cosy accessory. The Scottish brand also featured in one of her first episode outfits, when she wore the £139 Brora Organic Cotton Pie Crust Blouse to announce who was the first contestant to have been murdered the night before.
Claudia’s cashmere wrist warmers will set you back £79, and are handknitted in Scotland from 100% cashmere yarn. That means they’re super soft and cosy, and are perfect for keeping your hands warm during the winter whilst still allowing you to use your fingers freely for things like typing, touch screens and driving.

Brora)It appears Claudia opted for the ebony colour to suit her dark Traitors wardrobe, although the yarn used features small flecks of colour to give them a distinctive look. If you want something even more colourful, you can also pick up the cashmere wrist warmers in navy, red and blue.
If Claudia’s exact Brora Cashmere Donegal Wristwarmers are a little out of budget, however, we have managed to track down a great alternative thanks to Amazon. The Zeltauto Women’s Cashmere Blend Knit Arm Warmers are currently on sale, down from £12.97 to £9.95
Although they’re not made from pure cashmere, like Claudia’s Brora pair, they are made from a cashmere-blend material, which helps keep the cost lower whilst still being soft and warm to wear. They’re also much longer than Claudia’s, which stop just past her wrists, with the Amazon pair reaching all the way up to your elbow to give you some extra warmth and layering during the winter.
You can choose from 11 different colours, including dark charcoal grey, black and navy which would all suit a Traitors-inspired look. Alternatively, if you love being a bit more playful with your colours, there are brighter shades like lilac, sky blue and turquoise.
Alternatively, if you want to stick to a true handcrafted, 100% cashmere pair but don’t want to break the bank, Johnstons of Elgin has just reduced its Cashmere Wrist Warmers from £85 to £55. They’re made from two-ply cashmere and come in a choice of colours inspired by the Scottish Highlands with olive, rust or light grey shades available.
