The Re-Make of an Icon.

The Grand Master 2, the second and most successful model in the Grand Master series by DITA Eyewear, has now become the latest “customisation target” for the André Opticas Style Lab.

The GM2 is already a classic in DITA’s portfolio and a must-have for any high-end eyewear enthusiast. Celebrities like Jay-Z, Kanye West, Brad Pitt, Usher, Chris Brown, Jermaine Dupri, Snoop Lion, Fabolous, Sean Paul, among many others, have been spotted on various occasions wearing their GM2s.

This exclusive edition features a matte tortoise acetate specially developed for this collaboration, complemented by titanium hinges plated in 24K gold—a collection for true connoisseurs who seek not fashion, but timeless style in an ultra-exclusive version.

L.G.R. La Polverosa Special Edition at André Opticas

                                                                                                               ..

With the help of experienced hunters, L.G.R. developed a specific model for hunting, which provides protection against high-impact forces around the eyes without compromising the hunter’s field of vision.

The frame, with “Dantesque” proportions, is made from Mazzucchelli acetate and, when worn, completely surrounds the eye area, resembling a ski mask. The yellow, photochromic polycarbonate lenses finish off the beauty of La Polverosa, allowing for enhanced vision of details, with lens color intensity adjusting according to the amount of light, either from the day or the surroundings.

La Polverosa is a valley in the Maremma region, at the heart of Tuscany, that remains untouched in a self-sustaining system relying only on its natural resources. In this place, the art of hunting is still practiced with the spirit of another era. The traditional values of a true hunter remain anchored in the past, as if La Polverosa were immune to the passage of time.

AndréOpticas 30 years Birthday Party Video

At André Opticas, we sell glasses for people from another world, so what better way to celebrate 30 years of existence than with a dress that’s out of this world?

André Opticas presented the challenge, and João Rolo brought the project to life: an extravagant dress made with 8.5 metres of moiré fabric, featuring over 300 glasses and around 250 temples in shades of brown, red, and burgundy. A one-of-a-kind haute couture piece, now on display at André Opticas on Avenida da Liberdade in Lisbon.

Here, visitors can admire this masterpiece signed by João Rolo and also discover exclusive, luxurious eyewear brands. From authentic vintage relics—many crafted over 50 years ago—to international, commercial, and alternative labels, André Opticas offers a unique experience in high-end eyewear.

André Opticas Celebrates its 30th Anniversary with a Dress Made of Glasses

 

Founded in 1981, André Opticas is about to celebrate its 30th anniversary. An age that reflects the company’s maturity but, at the same time, seems like a short history for the many chapters already lived.

The brand’s DNA is clearly defined, as demonstrated by its journey. From pioneering initiatives such as limited edition collaborations with various artists, to being the first optical store in the country—and one of the few in Europe—with bespoke services for the most demanding clients, offering fully customized eyewear, to representing luxury brands that are often only available in around 20 stores worldwide.

With the opening of its flagship store on Avenida da Liberdade, André Opticas is a tribute to the world of high-end eyewear. With a collection of vintage pieces dating back to the 1920s, you can find a wide variety of items in its archives. To mark the occasion, on the day of the 30th anniversary, we will launch the first haute-couture dress made of glasses, in collaboration with the fashion designer João Rôlo.

Special Edition 1st Anniversary André Opticas Av. Liberdade 136

1st YEAR CELEBRATION EDITON

For the celebration of the first anniversary at Av. Liberdade nº136, we did more than just ‘toast’ the moment.
With the intention of marking the occasion with our continuous offer of ‘glasses for people from another world,’ we once again prepared a very special edition.

Made from Buffalo Horn.
A family of artisans with years of experience, in a small workshop in the Swiss Alps, handcrafts each piece. In an authentic made-to-order process, the piece is custom-made to your measurements and engraved with your name on the temple…

A unique piece, with the classy style of the 60s,
but with a personal touch from an edition created on Av. Liberdade.
