Our goal is to guarantee the continuity of Italian craftsmanship and to protect our heritage, to fly the flag of our supreme quality and unique creativity.

The products are aimed at all the connoisseurs who want to stand out from the masses, who wear their style with confidence and ease.

The Bespoke Dudes Eyewear is a patron of Italian excellence with the goal of meeting the demands of the most discerning customers around the world. The names of the collections come from the bespoke tailoring industry. Our glasses are inspired by a deep-rooted appreciation of quality and craftsmanship, guaranteed by the expert artisans of Cadore, Italy.

Our acetate frames are extremely lightweight and provided by Mazzucchelli Varese – a historical Italian company and global leader in the production of acetate frames – and our lenses are also made in Italy to guarantee an incredible optical quality.

Moreover, our collection consists of timeless accessories, mixing classic forms with a modern twist, represented by our elegant frames and refined lenses. The hinges of our glasses resemble a bow-tie picked from a lot dating back to the 30’s and feature four screws – rather than the usual two - tightened by hand. It is a long and costly construction, but we are not in the trade to compromise on quality.
