Craft

Every frame begins as a single block of acetate, cut from sheets made by Mazzucchelli in Italy — the same maker across every drop, regardless of color. What changes from one release to the next is never the material. Only its shade.

Each block measures eight to ten millimeters before it becomes a frame. Thick enough to carry weight where weight matters — the hinge, the temple tip — without adding it where it doesn't.

The final surface is polished by hand, not left to a machine pass. Where a machine-perfect finish and a hand-judged one disagree, the hand decides what stays.

Every pair is checked individually before it leaves. Judged, not sampled.

A pair that needs mending gets one. An object earns a second life, not only a first.
