Valentino eyewear collection conveys the values of the Maison and the mastery of couture. The culture of Couture and the rituals.
The new eyewear generation is 100% produced in the finest workshop in Japan, utilizing the highest quality materials and techniques. Artisans dedicate decades of their lives to mastering their crafts and passing their knowledge through generations.
STUD
The “Stud” is the essential symbol of Valentino’s accessories universe. The square and cruciform shape and the metallic personality, pay homage to Rome and to the Roman Palazzo, characterized by “bugnato”.
Pierpaolo Piccioli continues his process of resignification of the iconic codes of the Maison, where reality and dream, high and low, punk and bourgeois, couture and street cohabit.
V-LOGO
Reminiscing on how a simple sign, in the end can evoke instantly the values of a narration full of love that is made of individuals, of workmanship, of poetry and tales. A word that becomes a symbol, and therefore a symbol that turns into a story.
To put fantasy and feelings first, this is how vibrancy and simplicity meet: through visceral emotions becoming real while remaining an abstraction. The range of colors cover the signature one of the Maison and the nuances linked to Couture’s fine fabrics, including inspirations of the last aesthetic code of the Valentino pink.
MADE IN JAPAN
“Creating eyewear comparable to that of the finest eyewear-only brands is a technically sophisticated challenge—with design, craftsmanship, and quality being key factors distinguishing good from great. Place of origin plays a critical role in ensuring product heritage and quality. We manufacture exclusively in Japan, a country revered for its high-end eyewear the way Switzerland is for wristwatches. Our uniquely skilled and experienced craftspeople use only the finest materials (Japanese acetate and titanium) and a combination of traditional and innovative production techniques and technologies to create eyewear that’s beautiful, comfortable, and will provide years of use and enjoyment.”

Details make the difference on new Valentino Eyewear made with the Akoni Group. Diverse silhouettes are envisioned with exacting care, then adorned with Maison motifs that set them apart.
Meticulous attention, creative inspiration. The collection will feature new exclusive styles that will embody the Valentino Couture approach by utilising the finest materials and a combination of time-honoured and cutting-edge production techniques.
In the ethereal spaces of the Roman Atelier, where silent rituals set the rhythm of the everyday working time, an everlasting savoir-faire tradition is handed down from generation to generation. Half a world away in the majestic country of Japan, this same spirit and devotion are the guiding principles behind Valentino Eyewear.
The house of Valentino is based in the heart of Rome, the Eternal City, and expresses a point of view on the contemporary world using history as a playground and the Atelier as a place that produces both beauty and thought.
2016 marked a new beginning, under the Creative Direction of Pierpaolo Piccioli. A new set of values, that are both of the moment and faithful to its heritage, are created: grace and delicacy, both as an attitude and as a silhouette; a celebration of individuality; emotional beauty; the blending and merging of different languages.
