Now: two different kinds of Commedia dell'Arte masks

High quality leather

New Low cost budget Neoprene Latex

Both types of masks are made from the same molds. The difference is performance quality, durability and comfort. For professionals, I highly recommend that you order the leather masks.

How are they different?
Leather is much more comfortable, durable, and will adjust to your face better. In performance or classes, it has a better feeling and energy. Plus it is the material which the original Commedia dell'Arte masks were made from.

The leather masks come with an adjustable elastic strap. Neoprene masks have an extra charge for the adjustable strap. Neoprene is less expensive and you can buy unfinished neoprene masks for a real budget saver.

How are they the same?
The same high quality designs are available in both leather and neoprene. You can get custom coloring and hair on both types of masks.
