AHLEM

AHLEM was launched in 2014 by Parisian-born, Los Angeles-based designer, Ahlem Manai-Platt.

Andy Wolf

Bellinger

Blake Kuwahara

A collection of frames that are a mashup of my colliding aesthetics with special attention paid to sculpting and tactility. They are artful but wearable. By using laborious production techniques and a lot of handwork, an inner silhouette is encased in an unexpectedly fresh outer shape. This seamless fusion of two frames and the juxtaposition of contrasting form and color create a design tension that is thoroughly modern yet comfortably familiar. A paradox. Like me.

Bottega Veneta

Bottega Veneta has established a new standard of luxury since its founding in the Veneto region of Italy in 1966. From Bottega Veneta’s atelier - within an 18th-century villa in Montebello Vicentino - with their hands, eyes and heart, they turn leather craftsmanship into an art.

Caroline Abram

Optician turned designer, Caroline Abram knows what eyewear needs and the fashion people want. Her style is soft enough to be approachable, while striking enough to be considered trendy. Her line of simple statement glasses are so popular she has expanded to include a children’s line.

Cutler and Gross

Founded in 1969, British luxury eyewear brand Cutler and Gross combine the finest Italian craftsmanship with irrefutably cool style. Since its establishment in fashion’s halcyon days, the brand’s signature creativity has been applied to sunglasses, and optical frames with their trademark numbered designs and absence of an ostentatious logo.

Dior

Exclusive creations crafted with charm and elegance define the Dior brand. Eyeglasses and sunglasses made with cutting-edge material that epitomizes modern elegance with optimal protection.

Face A Face

Far from standardized fashion diktats and conformist trends, each collection asserts its artistic temperament, drawing its inspiration from the sources of Modern Art, architecture and contemporary design FACE A FACE frames are developed within the design studio directed by Pascal Jaulent resembling small subtle pieces of architecture, playing with volumes, shapes, material and textures.

Gucci

Gucci is one of the most prestigious brands in the fashion and luxury field. Eclectic, romantic, and contemporary, Gucci is now taking a completely modern approach to what fashion is, re-establishing the rules for luxury in the 21st century.

Kuboraum

Kuboraum is a brand of Italian-made sunglasses and eyeglasses. It was founded in Berlin in 2012 by Italian designer Livio Graziottin, and anthropologist Sergio Eusebi. The brand refers to its eyewear as “masks. Made in Italy. Designed to fit the personality and character of the face who wears them. It changes the perception of those who wear them. The masks represent cubic rooms to feel at ease with the world around us.

Maui Jim

Maui Jim is the fastest growing American maker of premium polarized sunglasses, prescription sunglasses, and ophthalmic frames in the world!
