Curvacious, flirtatious and sleek, the Valentina Sunglasses by ​​Auór epitomise Italian refinement and style.

Finished opulently with the flare of a glamorous cat eye, these sunglasses spare no efforts when it comes to sophistication, imbuing its wearer with what feels like unlimited, showstopping contemporary beauty. Due to its chicly wearable frame and undeniable charm, Valentina is an ideal pair of glasses for any occasion, using its playful silhouette to add allure to any outfit, casual or fancy.

Kristen and Claire, founders of Auór, meticulously design their frames between London and New Zealand, then work with factories in Italy to handcraft sunglasses like the Valentina on limited production runs to ensure conscious manufacturing takes centre stage at the heart of their business model. To further this philosophy, Kristen and Claire use cellulose acetates derived from cotton and wood pulp to make their frames.

About the brand

Just like MIMMO Studios, Auór was founded by two female friends looking to do things differently. Designed between London and New Zealand by Kristen and Claire, the brand’s focus is on quality and transparency.

Pioneering a slow fashion supply chain, Auór works with factories in Italy to create limited runs of their meticulously crafted frames, which gives them their ‘Made in Italy’ certification. From start to finish there are 70 steps in total, and it can take between five to fifteen days to make a single pair of glasses.

Auór works to a ‘less is more’ philosophy in an effort to avoid excess of any kind. A true antidote to fast fashion.
