You have chosen a pair of handcrafted glasses: a stylish accessory, but also a valuable object.
To make them last a long time and keep them at their best, it is essential to take care of them with a few simple precautions.
Here's how:
1. Daily cleaning: do this
To clean your glasses without damaging them:
-
Use a clean microfibre cloth (never paper, tissues or clothes).
-
Apply a specific lens spray or lukewarm water with a drop of neutral soap.
-
Dry gently, without rubbing.
-
Avoid alcohol, aggressive detergents or glass cleaners: they can damage the acetate or lenses.
2. Storage: the case is essential
When you are not wearing them, always put your glasses in their hard case.
Even if they seem durable, an accidental fall can cause serious damage to the frame or scratches to the lenses. Never leave them exposed to the sun on the car dashboard: heat can deform the acetate.
3. Put them on and take them off correctly
It seems trivial, but the act of putting on and taking off your glasses also has an impact:
-
Always use them with both hands.
-
Avoid resting them on your head: it can deform the temples.
-
Do not hang them on your shirt or collar.
4. Pay attention to salt, sand and sweat
During summer or sports activities:
-
Rinse your glasses with fresh water if they have been in contact with salt or chlorine.
-
Clean the temples and hinges well from sweat.
-
Watch out for sand: it can scratch the lenses very easily.
5. Periodic revisions
Even the best handcrafted glasses occasionally need adjustment:
-
Tighten screws
-
Check temple alignment
-
Evaluate any small polishes

In conclusion
Handcrafted glasses are like a small jewel: it takes little to care for them, but that little makes all the difference.
With the right attention, they can accompany you for years, preserving aesthetics, comfort and character.
Bonus tip: every now and then, clean the inside of the case too! It's a small detail, but it helps preserve your glasses even better.
