Product Information
Premium handmade eyewear are primarily formed, assembled and polished by the human hand. The majority of bespoke handmade eyewear are crafted from high-quality acetate and not cheap plastics used within the commercial eyewear arena.
Our handmade eyewear ranges are built from the following superior materials:
- Mazzucchelli acetate
- OBE German hinges
- Zeiss and Essilor lenses
The vast majority of premium handmade eyewear brands produce far fewer quantities per style than the large commercial fashion houses and this relates to a lower economy of scale scenario.
