Good Girl Murano x Lucia Massari

On International Women’s Day, Carolina Herrera reaffirms its ongoing commitment to supporting female creativity through the Carolina Herrera for Women in the Arts platform, unveiling Good Girl Murano — a one-of-a-kind artistic tribute crafted entirely in glass and not available for purchase.

Venetian designer Lucia Massari was asked to rethink the iconic stiletto bottle through the lens of Murano glass. Her starting point was the island itself: its workshops, its furnaces, its lineage of makers. Her role was to listen, research, and bring together the right hands to translate the fragrance’s inherent tension, control and indulgence, light and depth held in balance, into glass.

After months of conversations and experimentation, she chose borosilicate glass for the body of the bottle, developed with Ash Polzer, an American artist who built her practice inside Murano’s traditionally male world. Her work stretches the vocabulary of local glassmaking in ways that feel precise, contemporary, and quietly radical.

For the final gesture, Massari turned to Luigi Varagnolo, among the last artisans specializing in the elaborate florals and curls of Venetian mirror ornamentation. His contribution, a delicate glass flower crowning the stiletto, introduces a note of fragility, almost irony, against the silhouette’s sharpness.

The result is not a reinterpretation in the literal sense, but a shift in material meaning. The stiletto becomes lighter, transparent, almost architectural. An object suspended between memory and reinvention.

Conceived as a collector’s piece, Good Girl Murano is limited to ten bottles worldwide, each handmade in Murano.

The project is part of Carolina Herrera for Women in the Arts, an initiative that supports female voices across creative fields.
