In essence such a simple product.
In actuality… So complex as it attunes to matters of fit, function and filial attachment to the wearer.
Eyewear matters and in material matters, the scenario is so wide ranging and forever increasing in choices from traditionally simple
to amazingly futuristic.
From precious horn to 3D-printed modern… From classic zyl to a magical metal…
And at times so consciously sustainable.
The essence of a frame continues to MaterialEyes
for all of our precious eyes.
