Sol Sol Ito is a Swiss eyewear brand that combines traditional craftsmanship and contemporary design, created for discerning wearers seeking individuality.
Founded in Zurich by designers Sandra Kaufmann and Monika Fink, Sol Sol Ito reflects their personal approach: “Really, we make these glasses for ourselves.” They draw on Swiss values of precision and perfection while addressing contemporary demands for authenticity and individuality. :contentReference[oaicite:0]{index=0}
The brand uses only acetate for the front of the frames, a natural cellulose‑based material long valued for its design potential. For the temples, it uses fine stainless‑steel arms connected via a plug‑in system. Aesthetic codes include reduced form, functional articulation and limited‑edition production. :contentReference[oaicite:1]{index=1}
Sol Sol Ito offers optical frames and sunglasses. On its website one finds ranges such as “Wireframes” (interchangeable temples), “Sunglasses” and “Classics.” Each series is produced in limited editions of up to around 100 identical pieces. :contentReference[oaicite:2]{index=2}
The brand emphasizes artisanal production: hand‑polished acetate fronts, spring‑steel interchangeable temples, screw‑less hinges. While durability features (interchangeable parts, high‑quality materials) are noted, a fully articulated environmental sustainability commitment is not explicitly detailed. :contentReference[oaicite:3]{index=3}

Online as in a shop window, the image comes before the words: it is what the customer studies, what reassures them or cheapens a frame chosen with care.

On June 23, 2026, Meta and EssilorLuxottica unveiled Meta Glasses, a new line of smart eyewear. After Ray-Ban Meta and Oakley Meta, it is the first time the wearable carries Meta’s own name — a sign that connected eyewear is establishing itself as a standalone optical category rather than a piece of technology grafted onto […]
Linda Farrow doesn’t do nostalgia. With the Iconic Collection, the British house revisits its founding vocabulary — the forms that defined it in 1970 — and reengineers them for a generation that never saw the originals. This is not a reissue. It is a restatement. A Return to Origins That Refuses to Romanticise Founded in […]
There is something almost paradoxical about EssilorLuxottica’s stock market trajectory in 2026. The group continues to post sales figures most companies would envy — +11.7% at constant exchange rates in Q3 2025, +11.2% for the full year, and +10.8% again in Q1 2026. Yet over six months, its share price has erased more than 40% […]
What Paloceras built with the Pebble series, then translated into prescription eyewear with Nouvelle Fiction optical, now reaches its third chapter: a sunglasses collection that preserves the house’s sculptural grammar while turning it toward the light. Nouvelle Fiction Sun is not a spin-off. It is a continuation — on its own terms. From Optical to […]

In 1994, Oakley introduced a frame that didn’t exist before. Wraparound, bold, engineered not to please but to perform. In 2026, that same mindset expands into a broader vision: a […]
