Volumetrica by Orgreen
Volumetrica is a curated capsule collection featuring three designs that pay tribute to the substantial and robust nature of acetate with masterfully sculpted, daring geometric forms.
The ultra-sharp edge finishes strike the perfect balance between volume and material, while the crystal colour palette further expands the allure of the frame. Pictured is Queen, a frame that blends soft, feminine shapes with bold design.

Teddy Bear’s 10 Years
Marcolin is celebrating the 10th anniversary of the Teddy Bear coat with the release of a sunglass frame to wear with the garment that made its mark in Max Mara’s success story. After its debut on catwalks in 2013, the Teddy Bear immediately became an ‘It Coat’, seducing the world of fashion and celebrities thanks to its enveloping cocoon shape, plush fabric, and perfect magical combination of glamour and whimsy. The new sunglasses in the Max Mara eyewear collection share the same distinctive elements: a large wraparound frame with thick, curvy rims, hugs the face. The facets on the front and the chunky temples create a seductive, harmonious look. The vibrant silhouette, with sophisticated geometric lines and innovative details, frames the eyes.
