Our Story

Art in the Details

Italian craftsmanship is just one facet of what distinguishes our frames. Our aesthetic draws inspiration from the intrinsic intertwining of design and style in everyday life. We sought to infuse every Valdo frame with these same values, combining art with function down to the finest detail. Discover what makes each Valdo frame truly distinguished below.

Discover the Artistry

It's the subtle details that speak volumes. Meticulous craftsmanship and distinctive features ensure an unparalleled quality that is not just seen, but experienced, with every wear.

Italian Acetate

Italian acetate, renowned for its quality and rich hues, serves as the foundation of every Valdo creation. Meticulously selected for its color palette and exquisite texture, Italian acetate elevates each frame to a work of art. Every piece of acetate in the Valdo collection is made from Acetate Renew.

Double Diamond Detailing

With subtle nods to the Italian mountainside, our V-shaped logo and double-diamond details are incorporated into many design features from temple décor to stamped bridges and etched eyerims. We’ve even achieved this detail via a delicate cut-away in every temple tip and a laser-engraved logo on every sun lens.

Hinges & Hardware

The perfect fusion of form and function. Our acetate frames feature barrel hinges, specifically chosen for their durability and comfort. Metal styles are home to monobloc end pieces, ensuring a visually seamless design that enhances both strength and aesthetics.

Custom Core Wires

Embracing the mantra that true luxury lies in the details, our frames feature a custom engraved core wire for a subtle yet distinctive touch. With double-diamond detailing from our logo intricately incorporated into the core wire, each frame tells a history of its inspiration.
