Replaced horn and tortoise shell

Up to this day, the fourth generation has preserved this passion for eyewear, replacing the horn and tortoise shell with cellulose acetate, a material with more stable properties derived from the cotton plant, thus lasting longer for the wearer and environmental friendly.

Handcrafted spectacles

Key Optical Europe is a young, dynamic, and modern company, the descendant of four generations of eyewear manufacturers. A tradition that began in France in 1924 with Gustave Rege-Turo, our Italian great grandfather, an artisan who hand crafted spectacles using horn and tortoise shell as base materials.

Hand placed feather materials

The treated and tinted feathers are placed by hand, one by one, in a symmetrical manner, between two acetate sheets. The colours combined with the natural patterns of the feathers, produce new materials, making each ETE frame unique and exclusive.
