The ULMUS collection features a special treatment, a finish that can be applied to any model in the collection. A natural glue was chosen to apply the leaf to the eyewear and, likewise, a natural lacquer finish is used to prevent the leaf from drying and changing colour. The veins of the leaf, whose pattern is uninterrupted from the temple pieces to the frame front, are enhanced by a lacquer finish. The resulting eyewear is truly one of a kind since no leaf can be identical to another. www.woodone.it For the last couple of seasons, vintage and retro inspired looks have been very popular and this continues for the spring summer season.
