Mariella Burani incarne une mode féminine empreinte de délicatesse et de raffinement. Ses lunettes traduisent cet ADN par des formes élégantes, souvent arrondies ou papillonnantes, des acétates colorés et des détails discrets mais sophistiqués.

His story

Fondée en 1960 par la créatrice italienne Mariella Burani, la maison se développe à Reggio Emilia avant de devenir un groupe de mode reconnu internationalement dans les années 1980-1990. Si elle s’impose d’abord dans le prêt-à-porter féminin, la marque élargit son univers aux accessoires, dont la lunetterie, produite sous licence en Italie. Ses lunettes reflètent l’esthétique de la maison : élégance discrète, inspiration couture et souci du détail.

The iconic frames

- Formes papillonnantes : très féminines, parfois enrichies de détails métalliques.

- Acétates bicolores : jeux de transparence et nuances subtiles.

- Branches travaillées : inserts décoratifs, logos discrets et finitions soignées.
