DITA Flight 006 for André Opticas

We celebrate our 40th anniversary this year and among the many ways we have chosen to celebrate this moment was the production of a new limited series, with one of the most important brands of eyewear in the world, DITA, a brand that is a reference and needs no introduction.

With high-end glasses made in Japan, using only the finest and noblest materials, and which has millions of followers, DITA is the choice of countless personalities from the world music, cinema and arts.
Together with DITA, we re-edited FLIGHT 006, which became one of the biggest bestsellers ever when they were used by Tom Holland in the film Spider Man, Far From Home and Robert Downey Jr in the role of Iron Man in the avengers infiniy war, the famous Edith.

L.G.R. La Polverosa Special Edition at André Opticas

                                                                                                               ..

With the help of experienced hunters, L.G.R. developed a specific model for hunting, which provides protection against high-impact forces around the eyes without compromising the hunter’s field of vision.

The frame, with “Dantesque” proportions, is made from Mazzucchelli acetate and, when worn, completely surrounds the eye area, resembling a ski mask. The yellow, photochromic polycarbonate lenses finish off the beauty of La Polverosa, allowing for enhanced vision of details, with lens color intensity adjusting according to the amount of light, either from the day or the surroundings.

La Polverosa is a valley in the Maremma region, at the heart of Tuscany, that remains untouched in a self-sustaining system relying only on its natural resources. In this place, the art of hunting is still practiced with the spirit of another era. The traditional values of a true hunter remain anchored in the past, as if La Polverosa were immune to the passage of time.
