Belonging to Atelier Emine's Crystal Gelato Couture collection, Fresco Barolo is a top-handle mini handbag model that stands out with its structural form and jewelry-like surface. It is completely handcrafted by knitting 8 mm standard round cut optical grade crystal beads with high-strength fishing line.
The crystal beads are individually processed with a dense, modular, and multi-layered knitting system to achieve maximum light refraction and depth effect on the surface. The body offers a strong volume balance with its rectangular silhouette, free from sharp corners but defined with clear lines.
The top handle is created using the same crystal knitting technique as the body; it provides an ergonomic grip suitable for carrying by hand and is integrated into the body to support the handbag's holistic sculptural structure. Handle joints are reinforced with special knitting transitions that balance the load distribution without disrupting the form integrity.
There is no flap, zipper, or lock system at the top section. The open structure offers a minimal and refined usage experience without interrupting the architectural form of the handbag.
The inner structure of the body is reinforced with industrial supportive materials to prevent form loss over time due to the crystal knit. Fresco Barolo is one of the statement pieces of the Crystal Gelato Couture collection with its high craftsmanship intensity, clear surface geometry, and couture-level finishing details.
