Minotaure

Leather is combined seamlessly with stainless steel in Minotaure, a collection created by young Paris designer Lucas de Stael. Leather has been on the rise in the last months in eyewear. Look out for well handled finishing and high-end leather materials that will preserve their aesthetic elegance and finish with wear. De Stael is one of the first we have seen using coloured leathers.
