When was OPR created?
We started OPR Eyewear in 2021. We designed our first collection, travelled throughout Italy with our toddler for three months to find our artisans and start collaborating.
Where are OPR glasses made?
We make all of our eyewear in five different regions of Italy. We work with artisans who are too small for the industry but big enough for OPR, allowing us to produce in limited and sustainable batches.
What are OPR glasses made of?
All our glasses are made of Italian acetate from Mazucchelli or Laes or Japanese titanium or a combination of both. All 100% handcrafted in Italy by our Master Artisans.
What makes our eyewear unique?
All OPR collections are designed - in house - and produced sustainably by master artisans from five different regions in Italy, each with its own style and signature. They are 100% produced in Italy which is not an industry standard (only 20% of the production needs to happen in Italy to be declared a made in Italy). We only produce few pieces per color, once they sell out, we do not make them again. We believe excellent and unique eyewear should be "priced right"
Do you make any customization?
Yes, many customization are possible:
- added nose pads (titanuim, metal)
- designing glasses from scratch from your idea
- some of our eyewear can be customized to your liking (acetate color, engraving, dimensions)
- custom made lenses tints (with or without prescriptions
