What makes Sospiri Sospiri.

Sospiri (Italian for 'sighs') is small-batch Italian luxury eyewear, hand-laid in Veneto using the highest-grade Mazzucchelli acetate. Many frames take dozens of hours to complete and are produced in counts of just a few hundred per shape.

Best for: Collectors · Customers who want frames nobody else has · Material obsessives

Why we carry Sospiri

The details that matter.

Every brand we carry earns its place. Here’s why Sospiri is in our cases.

01.

Made in Italy

By artisans whose families have worked in eyewear for generations.

02.

Material-led

The acetate combinations are the point: tortoise patterns, milky ivory, swirled jewel tones, all proprietary to the house.

03.

Counts in the dozens, not thousands

Every shape is small-batch. When it's gone, it's gone.

Sospiri in the wild

Italian glamour, after dark.

In person

The full Sospiri collection
is in our cases.

Both Glimpse locations carry the active Sospiri lineup. Bring a friend, take photos, try every shape twice. Our opticians have spent decades fitting these frames; their input is part of the price.
