Founded in Treviso, Italy, Res/Rei — Latin for ‘the thing’ — builds frames the slow way: meticulously assembled by hand in small Italian workshops, in premium Mazzucchelli acetate developed through a partnership with Mazzucchelli 1849. The result is custom textures, saturated color, and sculptural shapes that age beautifully and feel unmistakably Italian.
Best for: Italian craftsmanship · Color & form · Collectors of detail
Every brand we carry earns its place. Here’s why Res/Rei is in our cases.
Each frame is cut, assembled, and finished by hand in small artisanal laboratories — the human touch Res/Rei believes technology alone can’t replace.
Custom acetate patterns crafted with Mazzucchelli 1849 give every frame original texture and depth of color you won’t find anywhere else.
Collections built like a body of work — contemporary, sculptural, and quietly expressive for those who notice the small things.
Both Glimpse locations carry Res/Rei. Bring a friend, take photos, try every shape twice. Our opticians have spent decades fitting frames; their eye is part of what you’re paying for.
