What to know about Mykita

The hinge is the invention

Mykita's stainless-steel frames are screwless, held together by a patented spiral hinge — the engineering detail that defines the house look and justifies the price.

Everything is made in Kreuzberg

Frames are produced in-house at the MYKITA HAUS in Berlin, covering steel, acetate and MYLON, a 3D-printed polyamide used for sculptural shapes.

LVMH money, independent direction

Thélios, LVMH's eyewear arm, took a minority stake in November 2024 while Mykita kept creative and strategic control and began opening its own stores.

How Mykita fits

Overall fit

mixed

Mykita makes eyewear rather than clothing, so there is no garment fit consensus; wearers mainly discuss frame geometry, noting the lightweight steel and MYLON frames feel comfortable but often measure on the wider side with a shallow bridge.

Tip: Ignore apparel sizing here — compare the frame's lens/bridge/temple numbers to a pair you already own, and consider an Asian-fit or smaller lens size if the standard bridge sits low.

How does Mykita fit?

Mykita makes eyewear rather than clothing, so there is no garment fit consensus; wearers mainly discuss frame geometry, noting the lightweight steel and MYLON frames feel comfortable but often measure on the wider side with a shallow bridge. Overall shape: Eyewear only — frames are typically described as sitting slightly wide/flat across the face, with a European bridge cut that suits narrower or lower nose bridges less well.
