SESTINI GLASSES & SUNGLASSES

As a boy, Carlo Sestini bought vintage glasses in Florence and took them apart: the temples of one on the front of another. In 2020, back in Tuscany from London, he stopped reassembling other people's frames. Sestini is handmade in Italy, in small workshops, with more than two hundred steps per frame; each model is a numbered edition and the name appears nowhere, except for an S engraved inside the hinge.
