June 4, 2025
Sospiri, Where Luxury Meets Heritage – Now featured on FAVR, our global platform for premium eyewear, SOSPIRI is the signature collection from OTTICA VENETA and a true embodiment of Italian luxury. Each piece fuses artistry and innovation, designed for the most discerning customers. With exquisite detailing, Swarovski crystals, and hand-painted embellishments, SOSPIRI transforms eyewear into high fashion – coveted by collectors worldwide.
At its core lies an unwavering commitment to quality. Every frame is sculpted from premium Mazzucchelli acetate and refined metals, ensuring durability with an opulent edge. Adorned with intricate embellishments and sparkling crystal inlays, each pair is a meticulous work of art. The production process spans nearly four months to achieve an unparalleled level of finish, making every frame as unique as the individual who wears it.
SOSPIRI thrives on exclusivity, releasing only 12-15 designs annually in a curated palette of seven to nine shades. Standard models are produced in limited batches of 100, while special editions are even rarer – just 50 per design, each discreetly numbered at the temple tip. This rarity, paired with exceptional craftsmanship, ensures that SOSPIRI frames remain highly sought after in the world of luxury eyewear.
Distribution is as exclusive as the designs themselves. SOSPIRI partners only with prestigious opticians and boutiques across North America, Asia, Europe and the Middle East. This carefully curated network guarantees customers a premium experience, reinforcing the brand’s reputation for refined elegance. Designed and crafted entirely in Italy’s Veneto region, SOSPIRI draws inspiration from the legendary Ponte dei Sospiri – Venice’s Bridge of Sighs. This legacy of Italian artistry seamlessly blends with modern design, bringing a piece of Venetian beauty to an international audience. With headquarters in Dallas, Texas, the brand’s influence spans the globe while remaining deeply rooted in the traditions of Italian craftsmanship. For those who seek eyewear that transcends trends and embraces timeless elegance, SOSPIRI is more than an accessory – it’s an heirloom of luxury.
