Nothing is left to chance. Every little detail, from the choice of noble fabrics to the special closure with glass beads, tells Venice, its grandeur, its splendor and its very precious artisan tradition. It is therefore not surprising that Max Mara weekend has decided to leave from the lagoon city for its journey around the world to the research and at the same time enhancement of artistic and artisan excellence.
The protagonist of this tour is the Pastry Bag, iconic bag of the brand, which between its soft lines and that timeless aesthetic becomes the guardian, country after country, of local manufacturing traditions. Just like the refinement and timeless beauty of the fabrics Fortuny chosen to create the Venice model. The three different types of cotton selected range from metallic textures with refined hints of gold and copper on ivory and teal blue backgrounds, to shades of lavender and deep red on cream tones, up to a pattern in shades of green and beige. Three different declinations, in tones and motifs, yet respectful of that heritage left by Mariano Fortuny, founder of the famous Venetian textile laboratory, which still today makes you dream as in the past.

To complete the picture, almost as if it were a fashion work of art, the ode to Murano glass that passes from the closure to a clutch with two spheres handmade by Gambaro & Tagliapietra, a famous glass company that since 1974 has given life to unique artistic glass objects. One is worked on an ivory base with contrasting streaks for a “marbled” effect, the other is made from a pastel shaded base, soaked or “submerged” in a clear glass finish.

Needless to say, the special edition of the bag was celebrated with an exclusive event, in the presence of some well-known faces, including Olivia Culpo among others, in one of the most evocative palaces of the city, the Ca ‘d’Oro, overlooking the Grand Canal.

And it is here, among priceless artistic treasures, that the Pasticcino Bag Model Venezia made its debut. Before setting sail for other shores.
