Heritage - CLARISSA OLIVERIO ART TO WEAR

For the hand-woven silk velvet Collection, Clarissa sought to merge historical Italian excellence with a completely modern and glamorous vision. She personally studied how to transform hand-woven velvets —made on late 19th-century Florentine looms— into acetate using techniques inspired by the Italian Renaissance.
 
In her Studio, the velvet is first treated on the back, then manually cut to the edge without seams. It is carefully inserted into the acetate with a permanent adhesive that maintains its hold in any condition, be it wet, hot, or cold. The exceptional craftsmanship of the hand-woven velvet and brocade ensures the fabric's durability for generations, echoing the longevity of garments once worn by nobility and preserved in historical museums.
 
Clarissa Oliverio's craftsmanship is a celebration of Italy's rich textile heritage, reinvented through a modern and glamorous lens. Each piece becomes a unique item. The design of the hand-woven velvet in Florence dates back to 16th-century Italy.

Every piece in the Couture Velvet collection is handmade from precious Italian acetate and meticulously hand-finished in Italy, reflecting the finest traditions of Italian craftsmanship. Clarissa Oliverio personally oversees every step, ensuring exceptional quality and attention to detail.
 
To preserve the exclusivity of each design, we produce limited editions of only 300 pieces per model and color, making each item truly unique. Every creation is built to last and comes with a three-year warranty, a testament to the durability, craftsmanship, and care invested in each piece.
 
Combining rare materials, historical techniques, and contemporary design, this collection embodies timeless elegance, innovation, and the art of wearable majesty.
