Walk into any optical workshop in Veneto and you’ll see the same ritual, dense blocks of acetate trimmed, tumbled, and polished until the grain glows. Those frames cost a handful of euros to perfect, yet land on store shelves for hundreds. The difference is the detours between maker and wearer.

Augussto removes the detours. Your frames travel from those very benches to your hands in one straight line, untouched by licensing mark-ups, showroom rent, or celebrity campaigns.

What Makes an Augussto Frame

Slow-Made Fit

Each piece passes through more than forty individual finishing steps, hand-bevelled edges, heat-set hinges, and a final polish so that the moment you put it on, it feels as natural as a watch you’ve worn for years.

Pedigree Materials

High-density acetates that hold colour for decades. German-engineered hinges rated for tens of thousands of open-close cycles. Optical lenses that screen 100% of UVA/UVB without muddying the world’s palette.

One-Hop Pricing

The cost you pay mirrors the cost we incur, materials, craft, and a lean margin that keeps us honest. Nothing more mysterious than that.

Built-In Longevity

Bio-based fronts, corrosion-sealed hardware, and fully recyclable packaging keep each pair in rotation for seasons.

Slip on Augussto and feel the difference immediately. A balanced weight, a clarity of view, a quiet assurance that every penny went into something you can see and touch.

See clearly. Live presently. Look unmistakably yourself.
