THOM BROWNE SUNGLASSES

Talk about true labor-intensive artistry – a pair of Dita frames requires as many as 320 production steps carried out over 8 months. A super-niche artisanship that highlights the latest three styles developed with Thom Browne – an aviator, a round model and a squared silhouette, entirely Made in Japan using the finest materials such as titanium and anti-reflective mineral lenses, in delicately contrasting colors. Dita’s manufacturing process seamlessly balances traditional and modern techniques and technologies, starting from the way the acetate frames are polished. Conversely to mass-market production, here each frame is slowly tumbled in hand-cut bamboo chips of varying shapes and sizes for a deeper, richer and higher quality finish. Small yet big differences that you immediately feel but ultimately see the moment you slip on a pair of these shades.
