A highlight of the collection are two frames made of buffalo horn, a natural product with signature harmonious colors and patterns. That’s why every model made of this material is unique and helps the wearer make a real fashion statement. STEPPER EYEWEAR Germany also produces models using titanium, a solid, premium material with an intricate design. The frames are as subtle as they are elegant, which underscores their excellent craftsmanship.

Alongside the Architekt Kollektion, the Signature Collection is the second premium series in the ZEISS EYEWEAR portfolio. ZEISS stands for precise, top-quality customized lenses, and these frames perfectly round off the ZEISS look.

A range of models from the basic and sunglasses collections are also available. ZEISS and STEPPER EYEWEAR add new models to the collections every year. All the frames are available worldwide via the STEPPER EYEWEAR distribution network.

About STEPPER EYEWEAR Ltd.

For almost half a century, STEPPER EYEWEAR has made a name for itself as an outstanding brand for eyeglass frames created in close cooperation with eye care professionals. Back in 1961, the company's founder and Master Optician, Hans Stepper, developed an injection molding process to manufacture plastic frames. These products made him a true trendsetter. Since then, the company has leveraged this competitive edge to bring the most advanced eyeglass frames to market. The brand continues to pursue its mission to not only design frames, but also to make fitting these to the wearer's face and thus improving wearer comfort a top priority.

Ongoing investments in technology to improve the design and production as well as working with the latest materials for improving the comfort and fit of its frames constitute this brand's strong unique selling point. This commitment to manufacturing the best products while also maintaining a high standard of service has impressed customers all over the world, earning the trust and loyalty of consumers for decades.
