OPERA
IONICA COLLECTION
The fateful goddesses of Calabria, ethereal and benevolent entities, carefully scrutinized the lives of men, enveloping them in a protective and loving embrace, and weaving with a magical thread the destiny of every living being. They concealed themselves gracefully among the branches of trees, where the birds’ song and the rustling of the wind accompanied their laborious nocturnal tasks.
The mountain goddesses, seated at their loom, danced in harmony with the hum of the shuttle, while the light of the moon and the stars gently illuminated their angelic faces.
At dawn, their work manifested: timeless creations, woven with threads of gold and silver, adorned with sparkling gems and precious embroideries.
Opera becomes the protagonist of mythical events, bearer of the same magic felt when admiring a painting or a work of art, emanating an aura of mystery and wonder that envelops those who wear it. It shapes every moment evoking the fairies who, in the past, acted as bearers of men’s destinies.

Just like these legendary creatures, Opera, with its intrinsic strength, bestows the ability to look to the future with determination and courage.
Elevated to a manifestation of the marvelous, this Handbag rises in a stunning and representative form. Magic and reality merge into a single harmonious essence, giving it an otherworldly and fairy-like aura. Placed in a fairy-tale world, Opera has been produced with the same care and secrecy that the fairies employed to weave the stories of their territory.
On the outside, a virtuosic explosion of art unfolds skillfully, carefully crafted by hand with the same care and touch of magic that animated the fairies themselves. Inside, however, lies the core of their work: a plot infused with a magical force and an unfathomable mystery that welcomes objects to protect them with the same care with which fairies protected men.
This plot, in fact, is woven in the region of Calabria, following an ancient tradition with deep and enchanted roots.

Calabrian weaving is indeed an ancient and sublime form of art, passed down from mother to daughter with passion and dedication, like a precious gift that has traversed time and history.

Colors and designs merged into a perfect symphony, creating textile artworks of extraordinary beauty.
The dense and intricate weave was born with the precision and slowness of one who, like an artist, paints their mind on a blank canvas.
