Have you seen our new Onirico line? These unique frames are made 100% in Italy, in a region called Regio Emilia, between Milan and Florence. The line's parent company Nannini started making frames in the 1950's and Onirico is continuing its legacy. They take pride in using cutting edge technology without losing craftsmanship. The vibrant colors of top quality acetate, some of which include beautifully inlaid silk patterns, make the frames look like works of art. Each frame honors Italian passion for beauty, taste and style. "Onirico is Italy" and we are proud to carry this beautiful line. Come check them out!
