We love the Dutch and we love their glasses

Our story starts in 2006 when Ralph Vaessen was still an unassuming Dutch government employee. Little did he know that his life was about to change drastically. When he couldn't find frames he liked, a Dutch optician helped him get into contact with a German-based atelier that produced single sets of frames. The wheels in his mind started to churn and he wondered why he should stop at one pair when an entire collection could be shared with the world?

This was the beginning of Ralph Vaessen, creator of luxurious handcrafted natural horn sunglasses and frames for eyewear fans with discerning tastes.
