INSPIRED BY AFRICA, HANDMADE IN ITALY
“Some years ago I was in Eritrea, Africa, wandering through my grandfather's old warehouse of Italian imports, when I discovered a model of sunglasses from a time long forgotten. These beautiful designs immediately evoked the romanticism of an era long gone by. The merging of two worlds; the adventure of Africa and the glamor of the Riviera. I returned to the original manufacturers and created a line capturing this timeless elegance…” Luca Gnecchi Ruscone
