A corewire is a metal insert within the temples of frames that provides rigidity. While many frame companies simply hide the corewire within dark acetates, a true sign of quality is the attention to detail that only a handful of designers utilize. Handmade frames sometimes include hand-engraved corewires, adding a layer of complexity, detail, and uniqueness. Check out some of these brands that have gone the extra mile in incorporating corewire designs to stand out from their competition.

Founded from the need for low-bridge fit eyewear, is a Canadian eyewear brand that caters exclusively to patients requiring frames specially designed for low or small nosebridges. Design details include built-out nose pads that keep the frames away from the face, a flatter frame front, and a less aggressive tilt, all incorporated to prevent the frames from resting on the wearer's cheeks.

Their collection is exclusively acetate, using the best Italian Mezzucchelli acetate to create bold, sturdy, and durable designs. Check out this new collection at both our locations!

"Art doesn't live only in museums. It doesn't belong solely to untouchable canvases or gilded frames behind glass.
Art is everywhere: in a glance, in a gesture, in a moment. Art is what you choose to frame.

In their Spring Summer 2026 campaign, the glasses act as a symbolic frame that doesn't enclose, but rather highlights; that doesn't limit, but rather enhances the gaze.
A frame that doesn't define art, but rather creates it."
