Tired eyes and too much screen time in quarantine? Created by Cécile Gavazzi, Morpho+Luna eye masks have become our go-to accessory for relaxation and deeper, more restful sleep. These beautiful eye masks are made by hand in silk, with light padding for the ultimate comfort. Above: blush tone eye mask with a silk snow piping and elastic strap. Ideal to block light during a daytime garden siesta or for better quality relaxed sleep at night.

Morpho+Luna is a womenswear brand specialising in sleep and homewear. The name comes from the combination of a vibrant blue Morpho butterfly and a delicate white Luna moth—inspired by a rebellious baroness: an adventurer who constantly sought out a new space for her ideas, her expression, and her very being.

The products are made in Italy with a careful focus on design, craftsmanship and fine quality fabrics and prints. Find out more : www.morphandluna.com

Jewellery embellishments bring exceptional luxury finesse to handmade eyewear.

Falvin Eyewear has special expertise in luxury frames with jewellery settings. Founder and designer Birgitte Falvin seeks out unique materials for her contemporary collection which is produced exclusively in Japan. The diamond settings – assembled by a leading jeweller in Denmark, are mounted using traditional techniques to ensure a long-lasting quality. Find out more: www.falvineyewear.com

Tricks with titanium are part of the mastery and craftsmanship of Italian label Blackfin. The bas-relief effect of model Lynn Haven – achieved through a state-of-the-art micro mechanical  processing technique – allows for a two-tone colour scheme. In this case the frame balances delicate pink and blue/green. Comfort is a key to the design with a lightweight construction and several special features such as tilting nose pads. Overall the styling delivers a smart, modern, clean-cut elegance that reflects our era whilst maintaining timeless aspects popular in today’s eyewear selections. This women’s frame is also created in red/blue, silver/gold, brown/magenta and silver/black. The design is recommended if you have sensitive skin as the materials are non-toxic and bio-compatible. They are free from residues of nickel or other heavy metals.
