Mykita/Rimowa

The Heritage series masterfully combines Mykita’s stainless-steel craftsmanship with Rimowa’s use of lightweight, anodised aluminium in a reinterpretation of classic sunglass silhouettes. This marks Mykita’s first use of aluminium for sunglasses, with three archetypal shapes – panto, square and aviator – to suit a variety of face shapes and styles.

Each design is accented with aluminium rings in silver or black, echoing Rimowa’s iconic finishes and adding structural stability. Premium lenses with 100% UV protection in classic solid tones offer exceptional visual clarity, while advanced anti-reflective and hard coatings guard against peripheral reflections and ensure maximum durability.
