VANNI eyewear in Singapore: Italian frames made in Turin
VANNI comes out of Turin, where the company has drawn and made its own acetate since 1990. The frames are known first for colour: layered, patterned sheets cut into shapes you will not meet in a chain, and finished by hand. Visio Optical carries VANNI in Singapore, alongside other small independent houses. This page covers the brand’s origins, its design thinking, the materials it works in, and what to look at when you try a pair on.
A legacy of Italian craftsmanship
The origin of VANNI eyewear goes back to Giovanni Vitaloni, Vanni to his friends. An artist with a technical bent, founder and inspirer of family entrepreneurship for generations to come. VANNI eyewear kicked off in the vibrant streets of Turin, Italy, in 1990.
The brand draws inspiration from the rich cultural heritage and artistic traditions of Italy. Each pair of VANNI glasses is a testament to the country’s long-standing reputation for exceptional craftsmanship and attention to detail. The artisans behind VANNI eyewear combine traditional techniques with modern technology to create frames that are not only beautiful but also durable and comfortable.
Innovative design philosophy
What sets VANNI apart from other eyewear brands is its innovative design philosophy. The brand takes a bold approach to eyewear, experimenting with colors, shapes, and materials to create unique and eye-catching designs. VANNI’s collections have vibrant hues, intricate patterns, and unconventional shapes, making them a favorite among fashion-forward individuals.
VANNI’s design team draws inspiration from a variety of sources, including art, architecture, and nature. This eclectic mix of influences results in eyewear that is both contemporary and timeless. Whether you’re looking for a classic pair of tortoiseshell glasses or a daring pair of geometric sunglasses, VANNI has a design to suit every taste.
Quality materials for lasting comfort
At the heart of VANNI’s success is its commitment to using only the highest quality materials. Each pair of VANNI glasses makes use of premium materials such as acetate, stainless steel, and titanium. These materials not only ensure the durability of the frames but also contribute to their lightweight and comfortable fit.
Acetate, a plant-based plastic, is a popular choice for VANNI’s frames due to its flexibility and ability to hold vibrant colors. The use of stainless steel and titanium in the construction of the frames adds an element of strength and resilience. Hence, your VANNI eyewear will stand the test of time.
VANNI sizes, shapes and how the frames sit
One of the standout features of VANNI eyewear is its commitment to providing a perfect fit for every face shape. The brand offers a wide range of sizes and styles, ensuring that there is a pair of VANNI glasses for everyone. The frames are designed to be both functional and stylish.

Italian design, drawn and assembled by hand in Turin: that is what a VANNI frame is. Visio Optical carries VANNI in Singapore and glazes frames with Zeiss or Hoya lenses.
Trying VANNI frames in Singapore
Acetate colour is the hardest thing to judge on a screen. A VANNI frame that looks bright in a photograph can read as quiet against one complexion and vivid against another, and the layering inside the material only shows itself in daylight, at an angle, on a face.
Proportion behaves the same way. The width of the front, the depth of the lens shape and the height of the bridge decide whether a bold Italian frame looks deliberate or borrowed. Many frames are drawn around a higher bridge profile, and attention to fit for Asian facial features keeps a frame sitting securely rather than slipping or resting on the cheeks.
Visio Optical is an independent, fitting-led boutique optician in Holland Village, Singapore, and has been fitting frames for nearly twenty years. Photographs are useful for narrowing a shortlist; trying several on, side by side, is what settles it.
