Portrait Eyewear - The Performer Tortoise - Sunglasses - Handmade in Italy - Exclusive Luxury Collection

Portrait Eyewear - Art-Inspired Eyewear - Handcrafted in Italy

Founded by two half-Venezuelan/Spanish siblings in Bassano del Grappa (Italy) in April 2016 with passion for authentic craftsmanship, contemporary design and supporting small enterprises with a meaningful vision, PORTRAIT Eyewear is the only brand in the eyewear market entirely influenced by contemporary art.

The shapes are the result of in-depth design research with experimentation at the heart of the product, strongly influenced by art-history movements and dedicated to iconic figures.

Coherent with the project’s art soul, the communication is based on the promotion of emerging artists in a fair cooperation that co- endorses both players; the brand and its fascinating testimonials.

The concept of “performer” instantly recalls charisma, creativity and energy. Performers thrive on the energy of the crowd, channeling it to inspire and uplift others with their art, connecting people across cultures and time periods.

THE PERFORMER takes the spotlight in PORTRAIT’s NEW ESSENTIAL series. Its bold, rectangular appeal makes it an attention-grabbing accessory designed for those looking for style and durability.

Crafted with high quality acetate, THE PERFORMER are more than a fashion accessory - they are a statement piece both lightweight and comfortable to wear, without compromising on quality or style. A bold sunglasses model with PORTRAIT’s most iconic elements from unique clean inserts to soft rounded edges.

In PORTRAIT ® we care about creating the best quality handmade eyewear with original design. All our frames are the result of the experimentation of form, materials, craftsmanship and Art-driven inspiration.

The Glitch series to which this specific eyewear belongs, have been inspired in the Video ART movement, where the artistic innovation happens within an intangible “place”.

The Glitch is an “error” that often becomes the element of beauty. Pixels, image fragmentation, noise and coloured bars are some of the resources of this fascinating artistic expression.

Having taken inspiration from Video ART, Glitch is the only PORTRAIT ® series that has been interpreted through a 2D material, therefore stainless steel. The metal is yet enriched with acetate and finishes that result from photo-cut and galvanisation, in different colours and textures. Limited edition eyewear of precious craftsmanship.
