Hand-laid Italian acetate — small-batch luxury from the Veneto.
Sospiri (Italian for 'sighs') is small-batch Italian luxury eyewear, hand-laid in Veneto using the highest-grade Mazzucchelli acetate. Many frames take dozens of hours to complete and are produced in counts of just a few hundred per shape.
Best for: Collectors · Customers who want frames nobody else has · Material obsessives
By artisans whose families have worked in eyewear for generations.
The acetate combinations are the point: tortoise patterns, milky ivory, swirled jewel tones, all proprietary to the house.
Every shape is small-batch. When it's gone, it's gone.
Both Glimpse locations carry the active Sospiri lineup. Bring a friend, take photos, try every shape twice. Our opticians have spent decades fitting these frames; their input is part of the price.
