Home try-on
Five frames. Seven days. Nothing to pay.
Pick five, wear them at your desk and in daylight, and send back the four that were not it. We include the return label.
The Workshop
Cut from a single block of acetate.
Your frame starts as a sheet of Mazzucchelli acetate, milled to shape and then tumbled in wooden drums for six weeks, until the surface takes on a depth no polishing wheel can imitate. Hold yours to a window and you will see the pattern run all the way through.
- 01
Milled to shape from solid stock, never injection moulded
- 02
Six weeks of drum polishing, by hand and by eye
- 03
A titanium core wire in every temple, so the fit holds
The Studio
Every pair begins with a conversation.
Ninety minutes with an optician who measures you, listens, and tells you honestly which of the frames are worth trying on. Nobody here earns a rupee more for selling you the expensive pair, and you are welcome to leave with nothing. That happens, and it is fine.
- 01
Consultation
Prescription, pupillary distance, and an honest look at how you actually use your eyes all day.
- 02
Fitting
Frames adjusted to your bridge, brow and ears while you wait. Temples heated and re-set by hand.
- 03
Aftercare
Come back whenever the fit drifts. Adjustments, screws and nose pads are free for as long as you own the frame.
“I have three pairs. The oldest is six years old and nobody can tell.”
