HANDCRAFTED LUXURY
Designed by Uta Geyer with an accent on aesthetic detail, all of the eyeglasses in Lunettes Kollektion are painstakingly produced with traditional methods. The frames start with the highest quality Cellulose Acetate, a natural raw material that is the speciality of Italy’s Mazzucchelli, which has been plying its craft since 1849. They are assembled by hand at a small family-run factory in Northern Italy. To house these beauties, exclusive handcrafted boxes made from recycled materials have been created by a small Berlin book bindery. The expertise of these production partners helps provide a seamless melding of old-fashioned quality and modern design, which exemplifies the philosophy and values of Lunettes Kollektion, and at the same time, supports small businesses and minimizes the brand’s carbon footprint.
