Lotho handmade acetate sunglasses - you know Yuwano...

Lotho sunglasses are designed in Paris, handmade in Japan. I'm on a bit of role of being introduced to new names and Lotho is my latest happy find.

A young brand, Lotho has some great takes on classic styles such as (top down) Henry, Allie and Aroun (left).

But with this limited edition Yuwano, Lotho's designer, Coco, demonstrates an ability to create something bold and directional, bringing contrasting elements together to dramatic effect.

Histoire de Voir: from studded sunglasses to stylish sophistication

Stephane Sarnin has been making leather eyewear by hand in Paris for 15 years.

Histoire de Voir has since inspired numerous other collections to bring leather into the glasses making mix.

And as he demonstrates with these five frames, the resulting look can range from smart and sophisticated (left) to rock chick (top).

Find Histoir de Voir in your opticians, and you know you've found an optician worthy of your custom.
