Bag made of conterie
This bag is crafted from dead stock using Murano’s conterie, small and precious glass beads that no longer are in production. It is entirely handmade using the loom bead weaving technique. Its patterns draw inspiration from the Venetian lagoon and from the colorful windows of the souvenir shops, which, as they overlap and merge, set the rhythm and shape the experience of those walking the streets of Venice.
