Brunello CucinelliHandmade Dazzling Shell OPERA knit top in jute and cotton

Sophisticated artisanal craftsmanship and shimmering embroidery lend a unique allure to this Dazzling Shell OPERA top, inspired by the beauty of the marine world. The garment is the result of careful workmanship carried out by expert craftsmen in numerous steps: each individual element, reminiscent of the shape of shells, is crocheted and embellished with a shower of sequins of different shapes and sizes, so that light can be refracted to create delicate touches of sparkle with mother-of-pearl hues. Each element is then assembled by hand onto a mesh base, giving each creation unique, one-of-a-kind characteristics. Approximately 27 hours of work are needed to make each individual piece. MATERIALS Elements inspired by the marine world are placed on a jute and cotton mesh, using a refined combination of linen, hemp, sparkling cotton, and Diamond cotton yarns. The result is a three-dimensional, vibrant surface, where the shimmer of the fibers and the artisan’s hand covey the poetry of "handmade" craftsmanship that defines the Opera series.
