RES/REI ::

Res/Rei is an independent Italian eyewear brand founded in 2011 in Treviso, Italy, built on the philosophy that eyewear should be handmade with love. The name "Res/Rei" comes from Latin, meaning "the thing"—representing both a tangible object with substance and form, as well as a concept and idea. For Res/Rei, eyewear is the ensemble of all things that make life around us beautiful and meaningful.

At the heart of Res/Rei's philosophy is a deep commitment to Italian craftsmanship and individuality. Every frame is entirely designed and manufactured in Italy by skilled artisans who hand-assemble each piece using traditional techniques passed down through generations. The brand creates their own exclusive acetate patterns, drawing inspiration from art, architecture, cinema, furniture, and Italian culture to produce sophisticated color combinations that simply can't be found elsewhere.

Res/Rei believes that technology alone cannot create quality frames—the human touch is essential. Their frames are crafted from premium Mazzuchelli acetate, a natural material derived from cotton that is far more refined than plastic. Each frame is meticulously inspected and assembled by hand in small artisanal laboratories, ensuring every pair is built to last years and age beautifully. With collections named "The Flowers," "The Gentlemen," "The Diamonds," and "The Sculptures," Res/Rei transforms eyewear into wearable art for those who value craftsmanship, individuality, and timeless Italian elegance.
