We began our research 3 years ago in 2017. We knocked on the doors of many artisans in Northern Italy to find the frame that was right for us. After rigorous testing and wearer trials, ALBA Optics started a small production of retromodern eyewear using the only the best materials available today. Ethically and locally produced in Italy, this is how we create our iconic frames and premium performance lenses to ensure perfect vision during sports training, racing and off-duty days. We want to bring iconic shapes of the past back to life: adapting them with the latest modern technology. Our sunglasses frames are custom-made using original refurbished moulds which have been designed in Italy and preserved for decades. The ALBA Optics team proudly stands behind athletes all over the world, with a profound respect for those who strive to improve their performance and realise their dreams. We therefore focus on offering a design product that is beautiful and meets the highest performance standards possible.
