Designed in New York City and handmade in Italy, Illesteva creates unique and high quality frames. This company can make some stylish sunnies, and their optical line is in focus.
Illesteva makes a wide variety of styles that all feature unique colorways. The frames start off as custom acetate which they mix up to get their unexpected hues and patterns. Due to this process, no two pairs are ever exactly identical. Always wanting to push the envelope to create new models, Illesteva picks up inspiration from some of the most iconic folks in fashion, music and art, and every once in a while, a coveted collaboration is born.
All frames available for sale at their online shop, in addition to leather goods & umbrellas.
