It took three years of research to give birth to this patented technology of production. It is an exclusive industrial technique, combining artisanal values and high technology.
The frames are made in just one piece. The designers have created a harmony between surgical steel strips and precious fabrics produced by Cerruti.
Between the rigour of northern engineering, the Mediterranean creativity, the key structural design and the craftsmanship, Harper is a solid, powerful and discreet frame collection which triggers all senses
A few grams of innovation are enough to give you full protection, comfort and personality.
