01 · Quality in every detail
Material and making.
Mazzucchelli acetate is the same material used by the most respected Italian and Japanese eyewear ateliers. The colour runs through the material, giving it a depth that surface-dyed plastic cannot match. With wear, the acetate temples settle subtly to the shape of your head; over the first few days, the frame can feel more natural while the front keeps its intended form.
Construction and craft
The hinge is where inexpensive frames tend to fail first. DRIVER uses a seven-barrel hinge that distributes resistance across seven points instead of three, providing smooth movement and lasting durability through years of daily folding. A full metal core embedded in the acetate keeps the frame's shape stable regardless of temperature and time.
Finish and detail
We refine the surfaces and edges, then inspect symmetry, hinge movement and the points where the frame meets the skin.
Lenses and protection
High-quality sunglass lenses with full UV protection. They block UVA and UVB radiation, protecting your eyes regardless of sunlight intensity.
