The artisan

Inveloveritas is a contemporary project by the young creative talents Maria Francesca Maniga, a young woman from Sassari coming from the fashion industry, and the multifaceted artist Giuseppe Scalas, from Assemini, a small town on the outskirts of Cagliari, aimed at producing neatly defined artefacts reflecting the true sense of traditions.

The collection

The minimal t-shirt, hand painted on silk-screen printing of the naked female profile wearing the traditional veil, is undoubtedly the most distinctive item of the Inveloveritas production, proposed as a unique garment - ever-changing with respect to the design and craftsmanship process, enriched by digital embroidery and hand-painting. In addition to the T-shirt collection there are new lines of furnishing accessories, table runners and cushions, invariably characterised by a neat graphic design complemented by hand-paintings with vibrant brush strokes and colours. Beside the more artisanal productions, other lines are realised with the support of innovative technologies, as is the case of the large headscarves, ‘Cadore, produced in a limited edition and inspired by the typical traditional large shawls. Individual projects and productions are the result of collaborations that express their social commitment.

The technique

Starting from the original concept and design, Inveloveritas produces its items spanning and exploring various types of traditional and innovative tools, techniques and materials, with the prevalence of hand-painting on fabrics combined with artisanal silk-screen printing, vectorial drawing and digital embroidery.
