Sospiri Eyewear, the luxury branch of Ottica Veneta, brings a unique blend of Italian craftsmanship and artistic elegance to their frames. Each pair of glasses is crafted with meticulous attention to detail, capturing the essence of Venice’s rich heritage and architectural beauty.
Founded by Riccardo Lamon, Sospiri Eyewear draws deeply from Venetian culture. The name “Sospiri,” meaning “sighs” in Italian, reflects the elegance and allure of Venice itself. The design of each frame mirrors the city’s artistry and unique charm, creating eyewear that is as much a statement piece as it is functional.
Handcrafted in the Veneto Region
Each pair of Sospiri glasses is handmade by skilled artisans in Italy’s Veneto region, an area known for its rich tradition in craftsmanship. These frames are not mass-produced; instead, they are crafted individually with careful attention to every detail. Each frame’s distinct features—from the choice of high-quality materials to the careful assembly—showcase Sospiri’s commitment to Italian tradition and art.
Sospiri’s frames are adorned with genuine Swarovski crystals, carefully placed by hand. The Swarovski embellishments add a refined touch to the frames, catching light in a way that enhances the overall design without overpowering it. This element of sparkle gives each frame a sophisticated finish that stands out, making it an ideal choice for special occasions or everyday elegance.
Exclusive Numbered Frames
One of Sospiri’s defining features is its limited production and exclusive numbering system. Each frame is individually numbered on the temple tips, making every piece unique. This attention to exclusivity ensures that the wearer owns a truly one of a kind item, a personal piece of Italian artistry.
Beyond aesthetics, Sospiri pays meticulous attention to the materials used in its frames. The collection includes frames crafted from light yet durable metals, Italian acetates, and hypoallergenic materials for comfort and longevity. The use of premium materials not only enhances the frames’ durability but also ensures a comfortable fit, a testament to the brand’s commitment to practical luxury.
Sospiri’s designs often feature intricate laser engraved patterns and hand-painted details, adding to each piece’s artistic appeal. These embellishments are carefully designed to accentuate the frame’s lines and curves, giving it a sculptural quality. The combination of laser work and hand detailing sets Sospiri frames apart, making them true works of wearable art.
Sospiri Eyewear offers a distinctive alternative for those who appreciate the union of traditional craftsmanship and modern design. The brand has earned a reputation for creating frames that are not only functional but also artistic. Choosing Sospiri means choosing a piece of Italy’s artisanal legacy—a frame that embodies elegance, refinement, and exclusivity
