Must-See brands!
At OPTI Munchen 2022
With just several days left until the next OPTI in Munich, we can barely wait to see what amazing eyewear will be on display at this innovative show! As always, we have created a little list of the Must-See brands, which are really worth a visit! Brands in a wide variety of categories, to match anyone’s desires:
If you want to give your customers a new experience, then be sure to check out the Haute Couture 3D experience at VM L’Atelier. They invite you to come and discover their eyewear with revolutionary colors and amazing comfort.
With their focus on technology combined with high-quality design, their collection of optical and sunglass frames is made with a new 3D process in High Resolution. Their coloring process is the result of a patent guaranteeing them luminous, unique, and even flamboyant colors.
The soft aspect of the faces contrasts with a shiny stainless treated with 4 different metallizations. This combination brings a luxurious singularity to this new collection, without an equivalent on the market.
Be sure to check them out and get inspired at Hall C2, Stand 344
The distinctive brand Frank and Lucie is presenting its newest models and colours of pret-a-porter readers, chains, and accessories. Their readers are made of acetate, with spring hinges and blue light coatings.
For this summer the brand chose some really inspiring models and striped colors. Almost neon-like but always classy, they call it Radiant Harmony
If you are looking on readers that are on-trend and will reflect the quality of your store, then be sure to check them out!
Their distributor for Germany and Switzerland can be found in Hall C3, booth 271.
Helden Optical is a Dutch eyewear brand founded by visionary Joey Diekman, who will probably deny that title, so let’s just call him an adventurous little rascal.
His unique and recognizable frame designs are based on commercial shapes from the past, which he likes to call “Heroes” or “Helden” in Dutch. Frame designs with a proven aesthetic, which he has brought back into the twenty-first century with his own unique twist, in both design as material use.
Starting with a small collection of his favorite “heroes”, he has now grown the brand in a more mature selection of great styles and colours, which he will be happy to show you at Opti.

This innovative brand places great emphasis on ecological sustainability in the development and production of its spectacle frames and combines innovative high-tech manufacturing processes with precise craftsmanship.
