Costumes for the Carnival of Venice 2015

One of the most spectacular carnivals in the world is so close you can taste it: From January 31 to February 17 the Carnival of Venice will take over the lagoon city. If your hometown doesn’t have a similarly large Carnival celebration, throw a Venetian masquerade ball yourself! In this vein we’d like to show you a few Venentian masks and costumes you’ll find right here – and this is just tip of our huge iceberg of a selection!

The Carnival of Venice 2015 is operating with the slogan, “La festa piu golosa del mondo!” which translates loosely as “The most appetizing celebration in the world!” The festive opening of this cultural highlight is planned for the last week of January, February 8th at the latest, when the traditional flight of the angels (“Il Volo dell’Angelo”) down from St. Mark’s Campanile will make the city of a thousand bridges go topsy-turvy.

Beauty at Its Very Best – Venentian Masks

If there’s something everyone associates with the Carnival of Venice, it’s the gorgeous Venetian masks. In our collection we have hundreds of delightful models in a variety of styles, including masks handcrafted by artisans according to a 100-year tradition as well as contemporary interpretations of leather and metal.

Mysterious Elegance – Venetian Costumes

As stunning as a Venetian mask is when worn alone, a decadent dress, elegant robe or characteristic cape make your Venetian costume complete. For men a handsome Venetian cape is often a first choice when looking for a costume for the Carnival of Venice or a Venetian masquerade ball.
