 André Opticas and Cata Vassalo launch exclusive eyewear in collaboration

In an ode to the part of a flower that unites and protects, Calyx appears as a reinterpretation of an iconic André Opticas design with exquisite details from a bestselling Cata Vassalo design, resulting in a luxury model that combines style and elegance.

In a world where true beauty is found in the combination of tradition and innovation, André Opticas and Cata Vassalo have come together in a perfect synergy. Driven by a deep respect for the craft and an unwavering quest for excellence, these two iconic Portuguese brands have an absolute commitment to quality and exquisite design.

Through this union, an exclusive eyewear model was born, limited to 20 units, each labelled from 1 to 20. Calyx is a reinterpretation of an iconic André Opticas design, originally created for the Visionaries video celebrating the brand’s 40th anniversary. With an oversized front in transparent acetate, these glasses inspired by nature, uniqueness and the most organic shapes, were the result of a 100% Portuguese collaboration. Adorned with the golden flowers eternalised in the iconic Jasmine earrings, this eyewear model is a work of art that combines the sophistication and delicacy of jewellery with the functionality and style of luxury optics.

Each piece is a tribute to master craftsmanship, where every detail is carefully thought out and executed. The result is a luxury accessory that transcends mere utility, becoming a statement of style and elegance that confers a unique signature and reflects each person’s personality.

‘This is a collaboration very much based on the symbiosis between the usual functionality and style of our brand and the refined and elegant touch so characteristic of Cata Vassalo. As well as guaranteeing a unique and unmistakable style, this piece reflects our commitment to combining innovation with the tradition of a brand that has been established in the market for many years,’ says André Leal, C.E.O. of the Portuguese brand.

‘At Cata Vassalo we see and feel accessories as crowns that should empower and represent the wearer. With André Opticas, a brand we admire and with which we share values, we wanted to design a crown in the form of glasses. We want it to be a statement piece that marks the wearer and also marks the beginning of this friendship and collaboration between our brands,’ emphasises Catarina Vassalo, founder and designer of Cata Vassalo.
