Monos Mira Collection Unveils Six Eyewear Styles Crafted with Acetate
Monos has expanded beyond its travel goods lineup with the launch of Mira, the brand’s first eyewear collection. The debut range includes six silhouettes spanning cat-eye, keyhole, rectangular, round, wayfarer, and wraparound designs. Each frame is available in four colorways inspired by architectural forms and natural landscapes, extending the minimalist design language that has defined the Canadian brand’s luggage and accessories. The collection marks Monos’ entry into the eyewear category while maintaining a focus on understated styling and everyday functionality.
The frames are constructed from Mazzucchelli cellulose acetate and fitted with ZEISS CR39 polymer lenses designed for optical clarity and durability. All lenses are UV400 certified, providing full UV protection, while integrated metal wire cores enhance structural strength and allow for fit adjustments. The Mira collection combines premium materials with accessibility.
