All items from 1955 Italian Eyewear Factory are made in Basilicata (Southern Italy). Producing everything in their factory ensures consistent quality. They are constantly striving to respect the environment, with eco-friendly packaging that complies with the best environmental management systems.
All the electricity used in production comes from their solar panels, and they use only recycled water and environmentally friendly materials, such as cellulose acetate, made from wood fiber, and cotton fibers, which ensure a high-strength and elastic material whose substance and color do not deteriorate over time, is non-flammable and non-toxic.
