MOREL Revives the Past with Two Striking New Releases: Leavitt & Nobel
With over 145 years of expertise, MOREL continues to master the art of blending heritage with innovation. Drawing inspiration from its rich design archives, the brand introduces two new optical models—Leavitt and Nobel—that celebrate the beauty of timeless design while embracing contemporary comfort and craftsmanship.
MOREL LEAVITT – Where Vintage Charm Meets Modern Elegance
The Leavitt model fully embraces a vintage spirit, expressed through a 100% acetate construction. Available in deep black for a sleek, refined look or warm chocolate tones for a softer, more approachable style, the frame’s rounded shape is thoughtfully aligned with the brow line, creating a flattering structure for the face. A distinctive keyhole bridge adds character while enhancing its retro flair.
Designed for both men and women, Leavitt is impressively lightweight and comfortable, featuring MOREL’s expertly engineered hinge system. This unisex model strikes a balance between discretion and elegance, making it an instant classic.
MOREL NOBEL – A Modern Homage to an Icon
One glance at Nobel, and it evokes a familiar sense of nostalgia. Echoing the spirit of MOREL’s iconic Tydée model from the 1960s, Nobel seamlessly merges retro inspiration with modern functionality—including a flex hinge that enhances everyday wearability.
With its minimalist lines, ultra-thin structure, and lightweight build, this model is an exercise in refined simplicity. But subtle details elevate it to a new level: the temple’s flat surface tapers into a gentle curve at the tip, adorned with MOREL’s signature five-line engraving—visible from every angle. A thoughtful mix of matte and glossy metal finishes, combined with a rounded hook hinge, adds a layer of sophistication to this classic silhouette.
A Journey Through Time, Reimagined for Today
Both Leavitt and Nobel reflect MOREL’s dedication to bringing the past into the present with style, substance, and precision. These frames are not just designs—they are the continuation of a legacy, brought to life with modern materials and masterful detailing.
With these new releases, MOREL once again proves that when it comes to eyewear, true innovation often lies in the art of revisiting the classics.
