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}
Products are available via the official online shop and selected retailers in international cities. The brand also appears in professional trade fairs such as MIDO. :contentReference[oaicite:4]{index=4}
