Our eyewear collection is built upon a foundation of exceptional materials, each chosen for its unique properties, durability, and aesthetic appeal. From sustainable natural resources to innovative synthetics, here’s an in-depth look at the materials that define our timeless designs:
Acetate
Sourced from the renowned Italian brand Mazzucchelli, our acetate frames embody the perfect blend of luxury and functionality. This high-quality material is derived from cellulose, making it lightweight, hypoallergenic, and eco-friendly—ideal for those with sensitive skin. Its rich color palette ranges from classic tortoiseshell and jet black to vibrant, on-trend hues, while the smooth texture adds a touch of sophistication. Acetate’s durability ensures frames maintain their shape and resist fading, even with daily wear.
Uses: Classic and fashionable frames, including vintage-inspired designs with bold contours, as well as minimalist styles that complement both formal and casual attire.
TR90
A marvel of modern engineering, TR90 is a thermoplastic material celebrated for its extreme flexibility, impact resistance, and feather-light feel. This virtually unbreakable material can withstand bending, twisting, and drops without losing its shape, making it a top choice for active lifestyles. Its hypoallergenic properties and smooth finish ensure all-day comfort, while the ability to mold it into vibrant, translucent designs adds a playful edge.
Uses: Sports eyewear designed for high-intensity activities, kids’ frames that can endure rough handling, and everyday glasses for those who prioritize durability without compromising on style.
Metal
Our metal frames are crafted from premium stainless steel or lightweight aluminum, combining strength with sleek sophistication. Stainless steel offers corrosion resistance and a polished finish, while aluminum frames deliver an ultra-lightweight experience. Metal materials allow for intricate detailing, such as thin rims, geometric patterns, and delicate filigree work, lending a refined edge to any design.
Uses: Business-style eyewear with clean, professional lines, retro-inspired frames with vintage charm, and minimalist thin-rimmed designs that emphasize understated elegance.
Titanium
As a high-end material, titanium sets the standard for luxury eyewear. Renowned for its incredible strength-to-weight ratio, it’s lighter than most metals yet remarkably durable, resisting corrosion and fatigue even after years of use. Its hypoallergenic properties make it ideal for those with sensitive skin, while the sleek, matte finish exudes modern luxury. Titanium frames often feature innovative hinges and minimalist designs that prioritize comfort and performance.
Uses: High-end luxury collections, lightweight frames for all-day wear, and performance eyewear that combines technical excellence with sophisticated style.
Bamboo and Wood
Sustainability meets artistry in our bamboo and wood frames, crafted from responsibly sourced materials. Bamboo, with its lightweight durability and natural texture, pairs seamlessly with hardwoods like maple or walnut, which showcase unique grain patterns that make each frame one-of-a-kind. Both materials are biodegradable, hypoallergenic, and offer a warm, organic aesthetic that connects with nature-conscious consumers. Metal hinges and reinforcements ensure stability and longevity.
Uses: Rustic-chic designs for casual wear, bohemian-style frames with earthy charm, and eco-friendly collections that blend sustainability with timeless fashion.
Buffalo Horn
Derived from ethically sourced buffalo horn, this rare and exquisite material embodies luxury in its purest form. Each horn boasts natural variegations in color—from deep amber to caramel tones—creating handcrafted masterpieces that evolve beautifully over time, developing a rich patina. Lightweight, hypoallergenic, and incredibly strong, buffalo horn resists cracking and offers a smooth, comfortable fit. Its unique texture and organic patterns make every frame a statement of exclusivity.
Uses: High-end, artisanal eyewear found in limited-edition collections or custom-made designs, appealing to clients who seek unparalleled craftsmanship and nature-derived elegance.
At MLMeyewear, each material is chosen not only for its functional benefits but also for its ability to tell a story—whether through sustainable sourcing, technical innovation, or artisanal tradition. Our commitment to quality ensures that every pair of glasses transcends trends, offering enduring style and craftsmanship that stands the test of time.
