AR lenses, UV 400
Every pair of sunglasses comes with anti-reflective coating to cut glare, and UV 400 protection to block it completely.
-
Divel lenses
Our sun lenses come from Divel Italia, an Italian manufacturer founded just after the war, still refining lens materials near Bologna today.
-
Mazzuchelli & LA/ES
Our acetate is supplied Mazzucchelli and LA/ES, two Italian names that have experience with this material for generations.
-
OBE Hinge
Five barrel hinges per temple, built with German precision to hold the bond between front and temple for years, not seasons.
-
Teflon Screws
Small parts carry a lot of responsibility. Ours are Teflon-coated, built to hold up over years of everyday use.
-
Wire core
Inside every temple sits a thin metal wire. It adds strucutural srenghth and allows an optician to heat and bend the glasses for a custom fit.
