Masks with sticks: refined elegance for a graceful entrance
A mask with a stick is one of the most elegant choices for a masquerade ball. It does not simply cover the face: it becomes part of the gesture, the posture and the way you move through the room.
This style is perfect if you want to create a refined, theatrical impression without wearing the mask for the entire evening. You can hold it during conversations, raise it for photos, or use it as a graceful detail with formal dresses, evening gowns and sophisticated party looks.
At Original Venice Shop, the Masks with sticks collection is especially suited to guests who want a polished and timeless Venetian look.
Two masks to consider:
- Gold Apollonia with Strass and Stick: ideal for a luminous, elegant and feminine entrance.
- Gold Borgia with Strass and Stick: perfect for a richer, more aristocratic masquerade style.

Fairycore masks: romantic, enchanted and dreamlike
Fairycore is the right direction if your masquerade ball has a romantic, woodland, fantasy or ethereal mood. These masks are not designed to disappear into the outfit. They create a complete atmosphere.
This style works beautifully with flowing dresses, soft fabrics, floral details, capes, cloaks and nature-inspired accessories. It is ideal for those who want to look mysterious, delicate and memorable at the same time.
The Fairycore collection by Original Venice Shop transforms the Venetian mask into something suspended between dream and ritual.
Two looks to consider:
- Twilight Fairy: a refined choice for those who want an enchanted, twilight-inspired look.
- Spirit of the Forest: ideal for a natural, magical and more theatrical fairycore outfit.
This is the best option if your masquerade ball is less formal and more imaginative, or if you want your mask to become the starting point of the entire look.
Eyes Wide masks: mysterious looks for secret masquerade parties
Some events require more than elegance. They require tension, mystery and cinematic presence. That is where the Eyes Wide style becomes especially powerful.
The Eyes Wide - The Secret Masquerade collection is designed for exclusive parties, private events and masquerade nights where the atmosphere is darker, more enigmatic and more seductive.
These masks work best with black outfits, capes, tailored jackets, dramatic dresses, gloves and gold or red details. They are not for a simple costume party. They are for guests who want to enter the room with a precise identity.
Two looks to consider:
- The Dark Phoenix: ideal for a dramatic, intense and powerful entrance.
- The Divine Marquis: perfect for a luxurious and enigmatic masquerade character.

Sexy masks: seductive Venetian style for bold events
A sexy Venetian mask should never feel cheap or improvised. The strongest effect comes from balance: sensuality, craftsmanship and mystery.
The Sexy Masks collection by Original Venice Shop is made for masquerade parties, exclusive events and bold evening looks. These masks are ideal when the outfit is minimal, dark, red, black, velvet, lace or leather-inspired.
They are especially effective when you want the mask to frame the eyes and create attraction without covering too much of the expression.
Two masks to consider:
- Budùr: a compact and seductive Venetian mask for a bold but wearable look.
- Femme Fatale: ideal if you want the mask itself to communicate confidence, allure and mystery.

The Venetian Palace collection is ideal for formal events, Carnival-inspired evenings, elegant parties and anyone who wants a mask that feels authentic, decorative and refined.
This style pairs well with brocade fabrics, velvet, black-tie outfits, capes, historical accessories and traditional Venetian costumes.
