Luca’s grandfather was an Italian living for a while in Eritrea. When Luca was looking through the old belongings of his grandfather, he discovered a model of sunglasses from old times, which fascinated him. He had the idea to bring the elegance of Africa paired with the design of Italy into a newly merged model of  sunglasses. He went back to the original manufacturers to reproduce them and named  some designs after places in Eritrea, such as Asmara, Massawa and Keren. The collection of sunglasses and old pictures of his grandfather in Eritrea can be viewed on the brand’s homepage. The sunglasses are manufactured in Italy.
