At Spectacle Designer Studio, we believe that true luxury lies not just in the label, but in the craftsmanship, materials and heritage behind every piece. That’s why we are honoured to be an official supplier of DITA eyewear — a brand that embodies precision, art and timeless sophistication.
Origins & Heritage
DITA was founded in 1995 in Los Angeles by friends - Jeff Solorio and John Juniper. (occhialimodernoptics.com) From its inception, the brand’s mission was clear: to redefine eyewear, combining vintage styles (inspired by the 1950s-80s) with modern materials and detailed craftsmanship. (French Optical)
What lifts DITA above typical fashion eyewear is the unwavering commitment to quality. Every frame is more than a product — it’s the result of months of design, engineering and artisan hand-finishing. As their heritage page states:
“Each design is treated independently, taking months from conception to production.” (DITA Eyewear)
Japanese Craftsmanship, Global Design
Although DITA’s design roots lie in Los Angeles, its production is deeply rooted in Japan. The frames are handcrafted in Japan by master artisans, using the finest materials — titanium, high-grade Japanese acetates, and even gold hardware. (Designer Eyes Blog)
It’s not just “made in Japan” as a label, but “crafted in Japan” as a philosophy. One source describes:
“It takes countless master craftsmen, with decades of experience, months to craft a single DITA frame.” (DITA Eyewear)
This marriage of design (LA) + craftsmanship (Japan) is what gives DITA its unique edge — frames that feel as exceptional to wear as they look.
Why We Are Honored to Supply DITA
At Spectacle Designer Studio we champion eyewear that is made to last: timeless in aesthetic, enduring in manufacture. DITA aligns perfectly with this ethos. When you choose a DITA piece with us, you are choosing:
-
Exquisite materials & engineering: The highest grade acetates and metals, painstaking finishing, and exacting quality control.
-
Artisan hand-crafting: Not mass-produced, each frame passes through dozens of steps and crafts-people to ensure the level of detail is exceptional.
-
A heritage of luxury: DITA isn’t a “fashion licence” brand; it is a specialist luxury eyewear brand, built on vision, not trend. (DITA Eyewear)
-
Distinctive style that lasts: Because these frames aren’t designed to go out of fashion next season — they are created to hold their value, look and feel for years.
