CRYSTAL GELATO COUTURE – Ricotta Shade
Premium Handmade Crystal Top-Handle Mini Bag
Short and Technical Product Description
Ricotta Shade, positioned within Atelier Emine’s Crystal Gelato Couture series, is a top-handle mini bag design that stands out with its sculptural form language, dense crystal weave texture, and sophisticated carrying ergonomics.
The bag body is entirely handcrafted by weaving 8 mm standard round-cut optical crystal beads one by one using high-strength monofilament fishing line. Thanks to the homogeneous arrangement of the crystals, a continuous light refraction is achieved across the surface, while the weave density ensures that the bag acquires a self-supporting balanced structure.
The body is constructed based on a soft cubic form. This form offers a sculptural stance when carried by hand and ensures maximum efficiency in internal volume. The crystal weave top-handle strap positioned at the top is designed integrally with the body and optimized for weight distribution and ergonomics when carried by hand.
The product features an open top structure that closes naturally under its own weight and form balance, without using a closure mechanism. This choice supports the design's minimal and couture character while maintaining aesthetic integrity without disrupting the continuity of the crystal surface.
The internal structure is reinforced with industrial supportive materials to ensure the long-term dimensional stability of the crystal weave. Ricotta Shade, with its compact volume, high craft density, and refined form language, is one of the timeless and strong pieces of the collection.
