The Fresco Corteza, part of Atelier Emine's Crystal Gelato Couture collection, is a completely handcrafted top-handle mini bag model, made by weaving 8 mm standard round-cut optical grade crystal beads with high-strength fishing line. It stands out with its structural form and jewel-effect surface.
The crystal beads are individually processed with a dense, modular, and multilayered weaving system to achieve maximum light refraction and depth effect on the surface. The body offers a strong volumetric balance with its rectangular silhouette defined by clear lines, yet free from sharp corners.
The top handle is created using the same crystal weaving technique as the body; it provides an ergonomic grip suitable for hand-carrying, while being integrated into the body to support the bag's holistic sculptural structure. The handle connection points are reinforced with special weaving transitions that balance the load distribution without disrupting the form integrity.
There is no lid, zipper, or lock system on the top section. Its open structure offers a minimal and refined usage experience without interrupting the bag's architectural form.
The inner structure of the body is reinforced with industrial supporting materials to prevent form loss in the crystal weaving over time. Fresco Corteza is one of the statement pieces of the Crystal Gelato Couture collection with its high level of craftsmanship, clear surface geometry, and couture-level finishing details.
