Started in 1995, the story of DITA Eyewear is really the story of life long friendship, Jeff Solorio and John Juniper are the driving forces behind Dita's celebrated designs. DITA sunglasses are an expression of beauty, smart design and understated elegance. Dita's designs distinguish themselves with quality, look and fit. All Dita frames are hand made in Japan and use only the highest quality materials: titanium, 18k gold, white gold and the finest Japanese acetates.
Creating a single DITA frame can take as many as 320 separate production-steps and over 8 months. The manufacturing process balances traditional and modern production techniques and technologies carefully selected at each stage to generate the best result.
A perfect example of DITA’s uncompromising production philosophy is the way in which the acetate frames are polished.
The acetate frames tumble slowly in genuine, hand-cut bamboo chips of varying shapes and sizes. In addition to the use of renewable resources, their traditional bamboo polishing process results in a deeper, richer, higher quality finish that you’ll immediately see and feel when you hold a DITA frame in your hands.
