HOW OUR TORTOISE ACETATE IS MADE

STEP ONE: PREPARING THE BASE MATERIAL

Colored cellulose bioacetate cubes are dyed by hand in different tones.

STEP TWO: CREATING THE PATTERNED BLOCK

Cubes are hand-arranged and fused to create larger acetate sheets.

STEP THREE: CUTTING OUT THE FRAME

Each frame is carefully cut out from the larger tortoise shell sheets.

STEP FOUR: HAND-FINISHING

Every cut piece is polished, beveled, and refined by hand to ensure the highest craftsmanship and comfort.

Did ya know? Each sheet is hand-positioned for the perfect color balance, so every frame is truly one-of-a-kind!
