Durability is the strongest path to sustainability
About OVVO optics
OVVO Optics is an independent, family-owned eyewear brand known for producing nearly indestructible, lightweight frames through advanced European engineering. OVVO's reputation is built on specific technological breakthroughs that prioritize durability and comfort.
Key innovations and materials
Frames are made from a blend of 70% surgical steel and 30% titanium, a composite delivering strength, flexibility, and resistance to heat.
Frames feature a unique screw-free hinge design that can endure up to 300,000 rotations. Despite this, the frames remain remarkably lightweight, typically weighing around about 17 grams, making them comfortable for everyday wear.
Style and product ranges
The brand combines its industrial-grade technology with a wide range of distinctive styles, spanning from minimalist and modern designs to more avant-garde expressions. Its product lineup includes both everyday prescription eyeglasses and high-performance sunglasses, ensuring versatility for different needs and preferences.
In terms of aesthetics, recent collections draw inspiration from the 1970s and early 2000s, featuring bold silhouettes and vibrant colors such as lavender, mint green, and cobalt blue. Each pair is carefully finished by hand, reflecting a commitment to craftsmanship, with lenses often imported from Italy and frames certified as anti-allergic for added comfort and quality.
Popular models
The brand offers several popular models that are widely available. The OVVO 2880 is a well-known minimalist design, featuring a full-rim square frame that combines durability with a casual, everyday look.
Another standout is the OVVO 3692, a modern take on the classic aviator style, crafted from titanium and designed to suit both men and women. For those seeking a timeless option, the OVVO 2753 is a handmade titanium full-rim frame appreciated for its classic and versatile appearance.
In terms of pricing, new OVVO frames generally range from approximately £220 to £350, depending on the specific model and the type of lenses selected.
