The Venice Felina silver eye mask is a Venetian half mask in a cat-like style, with pointed corners above the eyes and a pointed nose piece.
The mask is pearl white and edged with a braided silver cord, while silver glitter curls run across the forehead and cheeks. It is worn by women at masquerade balls or during Carnival. It covers the eyes and the bridge of the nose, leaving the mouth and chin free.

Why wear a cat-shaped Venetian mask?
A cat-shaped Venetian mask refers to the masked celebrations of Carnival in Venice, where a half mask made you unrecognisable without concealing your entire face. Felina is Italian for cat-like, which is reflected in the pointed corners above the eyes. Because such a half mask only covers the upper part of the face, you can still talk, eat and drink.
How to wear the silver half mask at a masquerade ball
At a masquerade ball, the white half mask looks best over a dark evening dress, as the contrast makes the glitter curls stand out. Wear your hair back or in a ponytail so that the ribbons lie flat against your head and the mask stays straight. During Carnival, it pairs well with a white or silver ball gown, and silver eyeshadow around the eyes complements the glitter edging.
Choose the Venice Felina silver eye mask and complete your ball gown for the next masquerade ball with a pearl-white, cat-like accent.
