About

For over 1000 years Venice has lead the world in mask design, stimulated by a demanding Carnival culture that is beauty driven, transforming the ancient city into a wonderland of costume and whimsical characters.

In 1995 Insignia Masks was founded by a passionate Australian mask Collector who believed that others like her would want to decorate, collect and wear genuine Venetian Masks. Insignia's founder had a romantic notion that a mask made in Venice feels more special to wear than any other available. This appears to be true as Australians enjoy celebrating Parties, Masquerade Balls, Fund Raisers and Gala Events with the genuine Venetian Mask.

Traditionally the Italian masquerade mask is made from paper mache but in modern times the blank mask has evolved into various alternatives depending on the artisans taste. Fantasy filled shop windows glitter with Masks embellished with Gold and Silver Leaf, Swarovski Crystals, Lace, Feathers and even Gold Plate.

Insignia Masks has specialized in bringing Italian Venetian Masks to Australia and enjoys access to the most respected artisans in Venice. Venetian Fantasy Masks.com uniquely offers the entire Insignia Mask range to the public online freight free within Australia. (more)
