CHIARA II

I was skeptical about wooden frames being comfortable for all-day wear, but these are so light I actually forgot I had them on during a long workday. The handcrafted finish in Madrid is really visible in the smooth edges and the bold shape makes them feel like a statement piece, not just a utility.

The bold shape gets compliments every time I wear them, yet I honestly forget they're on my face because they're so light. Knowing they're handcrafted in Madrid from wood makes them feel special, not just like another pair of plastic frames.

I was a little worried wooden frames would feel heavy on my nose, but these are impressively light — I honestly forget I'm wearing them by mid-afternoon. The craftsmanship is gorgeous up close, and the bold shape gets me compliments every time I wear them.
