Marigold gloves were introduced in the early 1950s by J Allen Rubber Company, based in Gloucestershire. They were sold in chemist's shops in a range of sizes and two finishes, smooth and crepe. They were orange in colour, made of rubber (NRL), were relatively expensive and considered luxury items. The London Rubber Company (now called SSL International), who owns Durex, bought the Marigold brand from J Allen in 1960 and soon after developed the Marigold Industrial brand which extended the range to a B2B audience.
