Delicate and pretty, the Fellini Gala Luxury Masquerade Mask is designed to flatter. Decorated with ivory lace and finished with a brocade trim, the Fellini is a lovely half-face masquerade mask, exuding femininity.

Wear this authentic Venetian mask for ‘glamour after dark’ at your masquerade ball. Or team it with your prom or wedding ensemble. 

The Fellini is a shining example of an authentic mask made in Venice. The highly respected Mascherari – Venice’s specialist mask makers - create masks by hand using age old techniques. The Fellini, from our Luxury Masquerade Ball Collection, has been handpicked for you – we want you to look great and feel your best at your themed special occasion. 

Papier mache, the base of the mask, makes the mask light and comfortable to wear against your skin. The tiny strips of paper are pasted together and when dry, the first brushes of paint or layers of fabric are applied.

A beautiful ivory lace edged in brocade has been chosen for the Fellini – an appealing version of the traditional character masks made centuries ago.

Originally, in medieval Venice, the mask was an everyday accessory. It was later to become the symbol of the Carnevale di Venezia, the essential party icon to wear for the annual celebrations. But the first masks were worn as a disguise, to afford some privacy in a city where overcrowding and social class placed restrictions from which people sometimes wanted to escape. 

Today the Carnival attracts 3 million visitors to Venice every year for the 2 weeks leading up to Shrove Tuesday. They come to wear elaborate masquerade costumes and to party at the world famous celebrations.  

Venetian masquerade masks have become popular the world over. Treat yourself to the Fellini for your special occasion. You will find the mask easy to wear with adjustable white satin ties to keep it comfortably in place during your celebration.
