Lindberg is a Danish luxury eyewear house known for minimalism, no screws, lightness, and Scandinavian design elegance. Over the years, Lindberg has expanded its material palette (acetate, combinations, etc.) but continues to focus on frames that “disappear” on the face (i.e., minimal hardware, clean lines).

Dita (DITA Eyewear) is a high-end independent eyewear brand known for luxury materials, meticulous craftsmanship, and bold design DNA. Founded in 1995, Dita frames are produced with high-end Japanese acetates, titanium, and optical-grade lenses, often involving long production cycles and many artisanal steps.
