Carnival in Venice is more than a celebration. It is a feeling, a way of moving through the city, a moment where creativity, elegance, and individuality come together. At Gondolina, Carnival has always been part of our DNA, because it reflects everything we believe in: self‑expression, craftsmanship, and style that tells a story.
This is why we are launching The Art of Gondolining – Carnival Edition, a community contest dedicated to those who live their Gondolinas, not just wear them.
What is The Art of Gondolining?
The Art of Gondolining is our way of celebrating how Gondolinas become part of real lives. Every step, every outfit, every moment where comfort meets beauty is part of this story. It is not about perfection, but about personality.
For Carnival, we are inviting our community to take this idea one step further and turn it into a shared celebration of style, creativity, and Venetian spirit.
How to participate in the Carnival contest
Taking part is simple and open to everyone.
Create a Carnival‑inspired outfit and pair it with any pair of Gondolinas. Upload your look as an Instagram Story and tag @gondolina_shoes.
Once shared, we will repost the most inspiring looks on our Instagram Stories so our community can see them, celebrate them, and vote for their favourites.
The more looks you upload, the higher your chances of being selected.
Community voting and winner selection
This contest is all about community. After reposting the selected looks, our audience will vote directly on Instagram, choosing the outfits that best capture the spirit of Carnival and the Art of Gondolining.
The look that receives the most love from our community will be declared the winner.
The prize
The winner will receive a free pair of Gondolinas of their choice, gifted by us and delivered directly to their home, shipping included.
It is our way of saying thank you for being part of the Gondolina world.
Contest deadline
The Art of Gondolining – Carnival Edition is open until Feb 28th.
Winners will be announced shortly after the contest closes, following the community vote.
Celebrate Carnival the Gondolina way
Carnival has always been about freedom, identity, and imagination. Values that are deeply rooted in Venice and reflected in every pair of Gondolinas, handcrafted in Italy with care, tradition, and modern sensibility.
We cannot wait to see how you interpret Carnival, how you move in your Gondolinas, and how your personal style comes to life.
Let Carnival walk with you. Let your Gondolinas tell the story.
