Italian brand RISA VENEZIA takes pre-consumer high-quality furniture fabrics to craft couture garments. Redefining exclusivity, the founder Bea Fontana takes out-of-production precious furniture end-of-the-roll materials from Venice’s most precious textile houses: Rubelli, Fortuny and Bevilacqua. Each piece is truly one-of-a-kind, a work of art. ““It is like slowly making a painting”, says Bea in comparing the many choices that go into each Risa item with her painting practice.” Galla, Claire. “The Real Made in Italy with RISA VENEZIA.” Only Child Magazine. 2023
