Praline velvet bag | Japan Phard

Born from a centuries-old Venetian tradition of textile artistry, the Praline bag is handcrafted in our Venice atelier using Fortuny’s legendary printed velvet — a technique whose secrets have been carefully guarded since 1919. Each piece is a testament to the enduring mastery of Venetian craftsmanship, where hand-printing methods passed down through generations transform pure cotton velvet into a surface of extraordinary depth and luminosity.

This edition features the Japan pattern in Phard — an orientalist motif that channels the profound influence of Japanese aesthetics on Venetian decorative arts, merging chrysanthemum blossoms and abstract botanical forms into a composition of quiet drama. Printed on phard velvet, the Japan design achieves a striking interplay between the bold quality of the ground and the luminous detail of the printed motifs, each element emerging with sculptural clarity. The phard velvet gives this Praline bag an air of timeless elegance, making it a piece that is both intensely modern and steeped in centuries of cross-cultural artistic dialogue.

Handmade in Venice using Fortuny’s proprietary printed velvet technique. The Praline bag features a compact, rounded silhouette that combines everyday elegance with artisanal excellence, and bears the Fortuny signature stamp. Each bag is accompanied by a certificate of authenticity.
