Investing in Quality Materials for Your Eyeglasses

We choose to work with brand partners who only use the best and highest-quality materials for your eyewear, which is paramount for both comfort and longevity. Premium materials not only enhance the aesthetic appeal of eyeglasses but also contribute to durability and optimal functionality. Investing in quality ensures that eyewear withstands daily wear and tear and provides lasting comfort, making it a wise choice for both style and practicality. Here are some of the highest quality materials you can use for eyewear:

Japanese Titanium

Japanese titanium is highly regarded in the eyewear industry for its exceptional strength, corrosion resistance, and lightweight properties. Frames crafted from Japanese titanium are known for their durability, flexibility, and sleek, minimalist designs.

Mazzucchelli acetate is a premium material for eyewear frames, known for its rich colors, lustrous finish, and durability. Derived from natural cotton and wood fibers, this Italian made material offers both lightweight comfort and the ability to create unique, stylish frame designs.

Glasses made from white polar or bubinga wood bring a touch of natural elegance to eyewear. White polar and bubinga, hardwood native to Africa, is prized for its distinctive grain patterns and rich reddish-brown color. Frames crafted from white polar & bubinga wood offer a unique blend of style, comfort, and environmental sustainability.

Eyewear frames made from buffalo horn are a luxurious and artisanal choice. The natural variations in color and texture make each frame unique. Buffalo horn frames are not only aesthetically appealing but also lightweight and comfortable, providing a high-end option for discerning eyewear enthusiasts.

Buffalo horn is used due to its ability to be sourced sustainably. The horns are harvested ethically and responsibly. When buffalo shed their horns once a year, they then collected from the ground with limited to no interaction between the buffalo and humans.
