Pollipo

“We dream glasses full of glances” is the motto of Pollipo in Rome. They believe that the most important aspect in eyewear is the person who wears the frame. Style 596 is a design for both men and women in glossy classic blonde tortoiseshell, with a distinguished keyhole bridge and double-jointed spring hinges. Pollipo also handcrafts elegant cases in genuine Tuscan leather – the case shown is in coral red.

Ottomila Eyewear

Leather is popping up more frequently in the artisan collections. One highlight, where the craftsmanship is sharp and attentive, is by Ottomila, designed in NYC and produced in an Italian workshop; a soft hand-stitched leather wrapped ‘windsor rim’ design, it comes in 3 classical shapes (pictured, 8M1, in army sage). The leather rim is paired with ultra-flat tempered mineral glass lenses (Zero-Base), bringing the classical styling a new definition. Ottomila 8000 is available at leading optical boutiques including Klar, Darmstadt – www.klar-augenoptik.de – and Monocle, Rome www.monocle-store.com. More details at www.ibrandseurope.com (A.

Crystal and gold merge with beauty and harmony in this striking frame by Finest Seven.
