They put together and completely transform acetate slabs to create colorful combinations. The craftsmanshi ..read more

While I look at these pictures that we took before the lock down, I feel nostalgic and happy at the same time: I deeply believe that going back to our normal lives will be probably one of the greatest moment ever.

In my previous posts (here, here, here, here and also here) I showed you different styles and shapes of eyewear by Naoned and I firmly believe that this French brand is very eclectic, fun and a true chameleon.
