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.
Italian Craftsmanship
Before a pair of Valdo glasses makes it to you, it begins its journey at world-renowned facilities in Italy, where every detail of your frames is brought to life by skilled artisans. This commitment to craftsmanship is what makes every Valdo frame not just something beautiful to own, but practical and durable enough to incorporate into your daily wardrobe.
