Attic Safari

Lumete Eyewear

New York based Lumete Eyewear is a newcomer to the eyewear scene. Clara Herrera has had a life-long passion for eyewear, and Barbara Warren harboured entrepreneurial dreams.  So last summer, they joined forces to create Lumete Eyewear, a luxury, handmade brand for women, by women. The collection is crafted in beautiful materials, and colours with mystery and allure.  My favourite is Attic Safari in Turquoise Coast, a curvaceous acetate frame in gracious tones of turquoise and bronze.  Lumete’s signature symbol, a silver lily icon, is embedded into the temple. These frames are a welcome addition to  eyewear and we eagerly await future designs.  They are not yet available in Europe, but we hope they will be – soon! Styles can be ordered  online at www.lumete.com JG
