What to know about Dita Eyewear
Made in Japan, by hand
Frames are produced in Japan from beta-titanium and Japanese acetate, with hand-finishing, screwless hinges and engraved detailing — the reason for the price.
Mid-century archetypes, redrawn
The founders came from photography, film and graphic design, and rework 1950s and 1960s frame shapes into families like the Mach series, Grandmaster and Lancier sport line.
A maker for other labels
Beyond its own collections, the group has developed eyewear for other designer brands, which explains its standing at the top of the luxury eyewear tier.
