Anatema

San Polo & Santa Croce


Add a Venetian eye for colour to a Japanese flair for sculptural fashion, and here you have it: teal mohair tube scarves that float around the collarbone like clouds, and pleated Thai and Italian silk shawls and bags in shimmering cangiante (dual-toned) shades. The Venetian-Japanese design duo behind Anatema brings out new collections each season, from sunhats to wool-felt brooches.
