Handmade frame

Inspired by Mr. Lauren’s passion for the bespoke sartorial tradition, the Fall 2014 Ralph Lauren Eyewear Collection reflects his philosophy of craftsmanship and quality. "As unique, refined styles with a sense of luxury and intrinsic character that can only improve in time, each frame is handmade and fitted with fine crystal lenses at Luxottica’s state-of-the-art manufacturing plant in Lauriano, Italy. All styles of this special edition are sold with a dedicated black croc textured leather case", the company says.
Meticulous attention to detail and unique production processes enhance this collection’s prestigious sartorial inspiration. The collection is denoted by specific product cues, all related to craftsmanship and quality: RL Signature hinge with functional pins. RL script logo under varnish, for subtle and refined elegance. “Hand Made in Italy” heat printed inside the right temple—a seal for Lauriano state-of-the-art production. Cold galvanic treatment: the final touch to enhance the metal parts preserving the acetate. Crystal lenses.
