What Are Acetate Frames?
Acetate is the popular choice in recent years of eyeglass frames, which is advocated by many fashion brands such as Gucci, Prada, etc. Prior to acetate, celluloid, the earliest polyurethane material, was easily molded and shaped while highly flammable, difficult, and expensive to produce. Because of its individual handcraftedness, it is becoming more and more well known. Oliver Peoples, Dita, Tarts, and Tana-gokoro eyewear do produce frames with celluloid and many other makers.
Acetate, also called the plate, has good penetrability, glossiness, and anti-ultraviolet. Furthermore, acetate has no sticky smell, and it is easy to create various combinations by multi-level stacking, which create plenty of gorgeous effects—the natural vein, such as wood grain, tortoiseshell turtle, and so on. Mazzucchelli from Italy, as the most famous supplier of acetate, with more than 160 years of professional experience, is the certified supplier of Alain Mikli, Gotti, DITA, Mykita, Frost, and other high-class brands.
The above brands are highly prized because of their international reputation. In recent years, many niche brands sprung up. MYTH Greece, the Greek glasses brand, has been recognized and favored in recent years due to its moderate price and personalized design. MYTH, co-founded by a group of fanatic designers, means "Mysterious Thoughts", which reinvented eyewear by transcending its conventions, creating a modest luxury with products ranging from bold character frames to futuristic shades. The glasses are made by the factory with over 20 years in optics at the highest levels of manufacturing, which has already obtained ISO 9001:2008 certification. They are authentically made in Greece. The finished products have passed the European Union ISO (EN) 12870, and the eyeglasses made of acetate are all done by hand by our most experienced craftsman for new interpretations of timeless shapes.
Myth Optical excels using innovating acetates in a variety of colors. One of the most popular eyeglasses with a blue and black tortoise combination and are contoured with German metal temples. The vintage round frames are polished, and the ultralight lenses with humanized nose pads provide extra comfort. MYTH glasses will collaborate with Mazzucchelli for new frame material and create more shades.
We are confident that the mixed-material glasses are leading the trend, so we are planning to develop more metal glasses styles. MYTH uses the ultra-thin stainless steel for aviator frames instead of the metal for special texture, which provides more choices to fit your personal taste.
