Exquisite Venetian masks for your Masquerade Ball!

Swarovski covered luxury mask

Everyone wants that special night out with a magical feel where fantasy can meet reality.  Masked balls are becoming increasingly popular and are a fabulous way of being part of a magical, fairytale evening.

The popularity of masked balls began in the 18th century and has remained strong to this day.  In the olden days, these masks guaranteed the wearer anonymity, meaning that aristocrats could party with peasants, make shifty conspiracies, or indulge themselves in secret romantic liaisons!  In today’s world, masquerade balls are all about having fun with fashion and partying the night away.  Over the past few weeks we had customers at the boutique looking for masks to hire and buy for their Halloween parties, University parties, charity events, corporate events and even birthday parties!
