GUIDE TO OUR EYEWEAR MATERIALS: STAINLESS STEEL
Errin wears a MYKITA design classic in the latest campaign: optical frame NIKEN in Champagne Gold.
MYKITA’s stainless steel eyewear is where our progressive engineering meets minimal design. Handcrafted from high-grade steel, the frames are light, flexible, and built for everyday durability. Featuring details like our patented screwless hinge and advanced surface finishes, they offer a sleek, functional wear that feels effortless while lasting the distance. Made from 90% recycled material and produced in a closed-loop operation, these frames align with MYKITA's commitment to the circular economy and responsible design.
WHAT IS THE LOOK AND FEEL?
MYKITA stainless steel prescription and sun frames embody a sleek, minimalist aesthetic that is visually distinctive while being exceptionally lightweight. The thin, architectural lines create an elegant silhouette that feels almost weightless on the face. When handling the frames, you notice their smooth, precise finish and flexibility, making adjustments easy and ensuring a secure, comfortable fit. Despite their delicate appearance, the frames are incredibly robust, delivering a high-performance experience that stays comfortable throughout the day.
