Kitzbuhel – Made in the Austrian Alps

Look at Sophia, wearing this naughty, modern yet classic frame by Kitzbühel Eyewear. The shape reminds timelessly of the 60s pop scene, even more so with the trendy, mirrored lenses, which enjoy great popularity with young and old. Sophia chose the more sophisticated degrade lens though, matching better with her mysterious personality.

Kitzbühel eyewear is the combination from authentic tradition and international Lifestyle. Originality and fashion are reflected in the design of timeless basic shapes. Kitzbühel, the legend place in the alps, is no longer just famous for  wintersport and its international society, but also for great eyewear design.

The brand stands for top quality as well as honesty, tradition and authenticity – that’s their guarantee and customers value. It starts with the choice of their logo. Their trademark, the Kitzbühel Eyewear gems, was created in the style of the “Erler Gams”. Franz Christoph Erler was born in Kitzbühel in 1829 and in his day was one of the most famous sculptors in Austria. His works include statues in the Votive Church, in St. Stephen’s Cathedral in Vienna and the Freedom Fighter Memorial at Kitzbühel Church Square. Many Kitzbühel rumours that Erler’s chamois served as a template for “the Walde-Gams”, the hallmark of Kitzbühel.
