OT  focuses on…eyewear at 100% Optical 2020

Luxury

Nine Eyewear will launch its Limited Edition luxury eyewear collection (pictured), which, like all of the company’s frames, is 100% handmade by Japanese craftsmen but comes with extra features. 


All titanium parts of the frames are plated with metals such as 18 carat gold, ruthenium and palladium. Acetate parts in the range are made from Japanese Takiron acetate, which Nine Eyewear explained is assembled, cut and polished using techniques passed down by generations of craftsmen.

Nine Eyewear said that the small but noticeable features of the collection make wearing frames “a little more special.”

Speaking about 100% Optical graphic designer at Nine Eyewear, Emma Eriksen, said: “At Nine Eyewear we look forward to once again meeting up with all of our UK customers at 100% Optical. Our colleagues Vibeke Andersen and Peter Jensen are especially thrilled about showing our brand new Limited Edition styles with 18 carat gold plating.”
