Retrosuperfuture designs and produces high-quality Made in Italy eyewear since 2007. Its unique approach consists of drawing inspiration from world’s famous sunglasses, and blending this careful research process with a care for details that’s unrivaled, which is carried out by using avant-garde technologies and durable materials. Retrosuperfuture glasses utilize high-performing Zeiss lenses and boast a minimal structure, suitable for any context. The list of available models is filled with time-tested staples, starting from the Retrosuperfuture Flat Top with their straightforward frame, but also including standard setting styles such as the Ciccio, America, Lucia, Drew and many others. The brand’s attitude is unique and pretty aligned with streetwear: SUPER aims to design and sell items which should be seen as more than simple sunglasses. Handmade in Italy, Retrosuperfuture eyewear are distributed and appreciated worldwide, including the SUPER Tuttolente series, a line composed of frameless sunglasses that are entirely made of Zeiss lenses. Despite having a solid core production and a massive archive to draw inspiration from, the brand keeps on pushing the boundaries of eyewear and exploring new paths through collaborations with lifestyle and concept brands such as Slamjam, Marni and Diesel to name but a few.
How are Retrosuperfuture sunglasses made?
SUPER glasses are entirely handmade in Italy, using Zeiss acetate lenses and a lightweight frame usually usually made of metal or plastic, completed by side elements such as nose-pads and small screws. Evey Retrosuperfuture style is available in many different color options, both regarding the frame and the lenses. The brand’s offering ranges from tortoise shell frames to the plain black matte, paired with colored lenses or with classic refractive lenses to protect against the sun.
Which Retrosuperfuture sunglasses should I purchase?
Retrosuperfuture catalog is extremely wide and multifaceted as it includes vintage sunglasses, contemporary designs with colored lenses, eye-grabbing frames, subtle details and much more. Top-selling glasses definitely include plain glasses with a minimal structure such as the SUPER Flat Top and Giaguaro, featuring round lenses on a light frame. Instead Retrosuperfuture Sacro and Babilonia, available in women’s versions too, can be considered vintage sunglasses due to elongated lenses and their typical ‘90s heritage frames. And again, the SUPER W are built using dark squared lenses, while America’s design is clearly inspired by the Wayfarer, and again the SUper Certo, Caro, Aalto and Storia are different variations of all-time classics.
