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.
