GUIDE TO OUR EYEWEAR MATERIALS: HYBRID CONSTRUCTIONS

From the PURE LIGHTNESS campaign – Stephanie wears hybrid model ALYA in Shiny Copper/Topaz
Our hybrid constructions blend stainless steel with Acetate Renew or MYLON®. The circular stainless steel offers durability and flexibility, while Acetate Renew introduces a sustainable, bio-based element. MYLON®, crafted through advanced 3D printing, contributes lightweight strength. Together, these materials form innovative, high-performance frames that embody MYKITA's dedication to responsible design.
WHAT IS THE LOOK AND FEEL
Our hybrid material concepts for optical glasses and sunglasses reflect our engineering expertise. By combining patented design elements, we create adjustable, lightweight constructions in refined materials and colour palettes. These versatile eyewear designs allow individuals to express their unique style while maintaining a distinctive MYKITA aesthetic.
