Masquerade balls have always been popular events, and in recent years it seems that the popularity of these parties has increased dramatically. This is a great thing, because mask balls are very fun to have, but with increased demand comes imitators and mass production of lower quality merchandise, which the informed consumer should be aware of in order to make the best decision possible for themselves when choosing which mask to buy. In this article, I will explain why you should be sure to get an authentic, handmade or Italian masquerade mask, rather than a cheap knockoff or replica, and how to spot the fake merchandise so that you do not get burned by an unscrupulous company.

First of all, Italy is the originator of fine, high quality masquerade masks, and many of the oldest and most experienced companies are located there. Still, there are several companies that import traditional and well-made masks from Italy into the United States, and also several companies that use these basic styles and create original designs, decorating with real feathers and high quality trims in order to create great masquerade masks.

Although they are more expensive than some of the cheap imitations that are out there, you will always do better choosing a handmade, original, high quality masquerade mask made in the USA instead of a cheap imitation that was mass produced in Asia.

This is because the masks that you see at some sites that seem to be priced very low compared to others are almost always cheap knockoffs, and more often than not, what you will receive is a subpar quality mask with inferior feathers and materials, and shoddy craftsmanship. If the mask seems cheap, there is usually a very good reason for it!

In the end, you will always be happier when you show up to your event in a gorgeous, handmade design that has been made by hand with care from a true masquerade mask specialist. If you are creative, artistic, crafty, and have enough time, you can also make your own masks for masquerade balls you will be attending to be original. For those who are not, there are a lot of beautifully handcrafted masquerade ball masks that can be purchased online. This information should help you to choose the right one for you!
