Where We Get Our mask Designs
Maskelle was founded to produce cast, non-leather versions of my handcrafted leather masks (I still make a few every year, you can check them out at https://www.etsy.com/shop/teonova).
It was time to move on from forming and making each mask entirely by hand - my hands deserve a rest after doing that for many years. And it was time to branch out and explore new materials and processes. A priority for each Maskelle mask design is that it retain the look of the leather original but be available to purchase as a cast version at a fraction of the cost.
Flexible Material
Maskelle masks are cast molded from a dense foam material that is a lot like the comfy squishy clog material that many people are familiar with.
Some Maskelle masks are made of denser cast foam than others, depending on what is most suitable for each design. For instance, our goat masks are quite firm, though still flexible, while our wolf masks are flexible enough to be rolled up.
Not Just For Halloween...
Maskelle masks are great for photo shoots / photo props, masquerade, Halloween, Mardi Gras, costume, parties, team mascots, events, festivals, theater, opera, dj's. bands, musicians, wall art, decor, and any fun time you can dream up.
Committed To Quality
Style . Fit. Comfort. Quality We have worked hard to make Maskelle masks affordable without sacrificing quality upgrades like sturdy, adjustable and well attached straps, durable materials, and great looks. You won't find thin little cords of elastic that break or pop out of the mask, on a Maskelle Mask. Our innovative material is sturdy enough to last for years and flexible for comfort.
Our Shorleine Cleanup Program
Our community outreach includes our Shoreline Cleanup Project. Most of our cleanups take place here at our home in the beautiful Florida Keys. For each mask you purchase, we remove a piece of trash from the ocean shoreline. Check our Shoreline Cleanup page for photo and video updates of past and current cleanups.
