Some objects are made to last a season. Others become part of the memories we carry with us. Aurelia was born from this idea.
Handcrafted in natural raffia, with every trim, handle and strap made from Ohoskin® — an Italian bio-based leather alternative obtained from Sicilian orange peel by-products.
The Venere edition is the first chapter of the Aurelia line — a family of bucket bags where every version takes its name and its aesthetic language from a different jewel. This one opens with Venere: two seashells embracing a luminous coral-red cabochon, hand-set at the centre of the bag.
Its clean cylindrical silhouette draws from traditional Mediterranean baskets, reinterpreted through contemporary Italian craftsmanship.
Created through a patented circular-economy process, Ohoskin® transforms agricultural by-products into a refined, durable alternative to animal leather — without compromising on elegance.
Designed for women who appreciate understated luxury, authentic craftsmanship and conscious innovation. A companion for seaside resorts, historic cities and elegant summer evenings.
Entirely cruelty-free. Entirely handmade in Italy.

The Material Story
For the Resort Collection 2027, DAMAPREZIOSA selected Ohoskin® as the signature material for every refined detail.
Entirely developed and produced in Italy, Ohoskin® is an innovative premium material obtained through the recovery of Sicilian orange and cactus by-products.
Its patented manufacturing process transforms agricultural residues into a sophisticated bio-based alternative to animal leather, reducing waste while offering exceptional durability, refined aesthetics and complete traceability throughout the production chain.
It perfectly represents our philosophy: preserving traditional Italian craftsmanship while embracing the most advanced innovations in sustainable luxury.

MATERIALS & CRAFTSMANSHIP
DAMAPREZIOSA creations are designed with a cruelty-free approach, combining animal-free materials, refined decorative elements and Italian craftsmanship.
Our sandals and selected accessories use advanced animal-free materials such as BioVeg, made with components derived from recycled polyester from plastic bottles and bio-polyols from non-food, GMO-free corn crops. Sandals are finished with Thunit soles, an elegant alternative to traditional leather soles, appreciated for its refined appearance and resistance to abrasion.
DAMAPREZIOSA jewels and decorative accessories may feature gold-tone metal structures, crystal embellishments, decorative cabochons, enamelled or coloured details and luminous accents, depending on the design. They are conceived as statement accessories rather than fine jewelry, with a strong focus on visual impact, brilliance and coordinated styling.
Our metal mesh belts are made from a soft, slightly elastic metallic mesh in copper and steel, finished with 18k gold plating.
All DAMAPREZIOSA creations are designed and handcrafted in Italy with the support of small artisan workshops. Decorative elements are often applied by hand, one by one, giving each piece its distinctive luminous character.
Keep away from direct exposure to light, excessive heat and rain, as these conditions may affect the color intensity and adhesive strength.
If your sandals get wet, dry them immediately with a clean, soft cloth.
To remove minor marks and preserve the brilliance of the crystals, gently wipe with a soft, dry cloth.
Avoid pulling, twisting or applying excessive pressure to the crystal embellishments, ankle strap or removable jeweled bracelet.
When storing, fill the sandals with tissue paper to help preserve their shape and absorb ambient moisture.
Store in the dust bag and box provided.
Designed for elegant city wear, resort evenings, ceremonies and special occasions, this style is not intended for sports, trekking, long walks or rough terrain.
Please note: The glitter finish on the sole may naturally wear over time, especially in the areas that come into direct contact with the ground. This is a normal effect of use and should not be considered a defect.
As each DAMAPREZIOSA creation is handcrafted, slight variations in dimensions and details may occur and are part of its authenticity.
Each DAMAPREZIOSA creation is presented with carefully selected packaging, designed to reflect the refined identity of the brand.
Depending on the type of item, your order may be supplied with a DAMAPREZIOSA box, pouch, dust bag or protective packaging suitable for preserving the product during storage and delivery.
If the item is intended as a gift, please contact us before placing your order to check the available gift presentation options.
