Engineered for international optical retailers and distributors: 10–13g ultra-lightweight frames, dynamic light-reactive colors, and hand-stitched hinge architecture backed by the Red Dot Design Award.
GLOSSI is Urband's flagship designer eyewear collection developed exclusively for women who view optical frames as an essential element of modern style. While typical high-fashion frames rely on heavy acetate blocks that slip and pinch the bridge, GLOSSI introduces an architectural fusion of precision-milled lightweight nylon fronts and surgical-grade metal temples.
Targeted at boutique practices and discerning optometry retail chains, GLOSSI balances two vital consumer segments: fashion-forward professionals aged 25 to 50 seeking statement accessories, and mature clients aged 45 to 65 demanding featherweight comfort and refined facial elevation.
GLOSSI enables optical buyers to curate structured frame inventories tailored to varied patient demographics, style preferences, and lifestyle usage scenarios.
Optimized for everyday vision correction and extended screen time. Features neutral-to-soft translucencies, ergonomic nose bridges, and lightweight structures that eliminate pressure sores and temple pinching.
Tailored as a standout wardrobe accessory with vivid geometric cut-outs, light-reactive pigment infusion, and laser-profiled rim illusions that capture customer attention in boutique showcases.
Characterized by upswept cat-eye angles, fine filigree detailing, and soft facial-contouring geometry. Delivers an understated aesthetic for women seeking grace and visual lift.
GLOSSI achieves the balance of delicate aesthetics and lasting mechanical integrity through advanced polymer chemistry and patented connection systems.
Engineered from medical-grade optical nylon, the monoblock front provides tensile stability and high resilience. Precision laser profiling creates the illusion of intricate multi-tiered rims without adding bulk or lens-mounting stress.
Instead of relying on fragile ultrasonic welds, adhesives, or rigid heat staking, GLOSSI utilizes a patented hand-stitched nylon thread system. This joint flexes under lateral torsion and redistributes mechanical stress during daily wear.
The flexible front pairs seamlessly with high-tensile, corrosion-resistant metal temples. Opticians can easily adjust temple wrap, ear curvature, and pantoscopic tilt without risking front frame warping.
How GLOSSI nylon-metal hybrid architecture compares against standard optical frame constructions.
| Feature / Metric | GLOSSI Hybrid Architecture | Conventional Acetate Frames | Standard Metal Rimmed Frames |
|---|---|---|---|
| Average Net Weight | 10g – 13g (Ultra-Light) | 22g – 35g (Moderate to Heavy) | 16g – 24g (Moderate) |
| Color Depth & Reactive Shifts | Internal light-reactive refractive pigments | Surface dyes or laminated sheeting | Electroplated or painted coatings |
| Temple Connection Type | Artisan hand-stitched flex joint | Standard 3/5-barrel pin hinges | Welded flex or screw hinges |
| Bridge Pressure Impact | Minimal; zero slip on sensitive nose bridges | Frequent pressure marks and slipping | Requires frequent nose pad adjustments |
| Prescription Suitability | Single Vision, PAL & High Index (up to -8.00D) | Wide lens compatibility | Limited lens bevel edge hiding |
Three signature sub-series engineered to supply diverse retail display profiles and client tastes.
Modern minimalism rendered through single-sheet nylon cutting and micro-laser detailing. Mimics polished metallic finishes with featherlight comfort for business professionals.
A fusion of runway styling and structural engineering. Enhanced with high-contrast stitched seams and translucent tonal gradients that shimmer under indoor and natural light.
Bold proportions and confident outlines designed for everyday chic. Celebrated by retail buyers for its universal face-flattering fit and dependable sales velocity.
Practical dispensing recommendations to assist optical practice staff in recommending the most flattering GLOSSI silhouettes to female clients.
Recommend structured geometric or square GLOSSI profiles to introduce clear architectural definition and offset softer facial cheeks.
Recommend curved round or softened oval GLOSSI rims to visually soften pronounced mandibular angles and create balanced facial harmony.
Universally compatible with virtually all GLOSSI silhouettes. Opticians can boldly recommend daring light-reactive tones and wider browlines.
Recommend delicate upswept cat-eye or rimless-illusion styles that draw attention subtly upwards without exaggerating forehead width.
Sourcing GLOSSI delivers commercial reliability, robust compliance certification, and turnkey marketing assets.
All GLOSSI models are backed by full CE Declarations of Conformity, compliance with ISO 12870 standards for ophthalmic frames, and REACH nickel-release certification for skin safety.
Manufactured under tight quality gates supervised by Urband Shenzhen and Singapore engineering teams. Dimensional consistency, stitch tension, and lens bevel retention are inspected per batch.
Wholesale partners receive POS visual display units, branded counter displays, optical case packages, and high-resolution digital campaign assets for local promotional campaigns.
GLOSSI frames integrate one-piece precision-cut nylon fronts with ultra-slim metal temples via hand-stitched nylon thread connections, eliminating high-stress adhesive joints and reducing frame weight down to 10-13 grams.
The optical composite incorporates multi-spectrum refractive pigments directly inside the high-performance nylon substrate. Ambient light shifts, sunlight, and angle changes continuously create tonal gradient dynamics across the front surface.
Yes. Each GLOSSI frame is engineered with sufficient B-measurement depths and structural stability to accommodate progressive addition lenses (PAL), high-index aspheric lenses, and premium anti-reflective coatings without front warping.
GLOSSI collections fully comply with CE Medical Device Regulation standards for corrective eyewear, ISO 12870 mechanical performance standards, and EU REACH regulations for nickel-release safety and non-toxicity.
Optical chains, independent boutiques, and regional distributors receive flexible minimum order quantities (MOQs), integrated brand display materials, rapid global replenishment, and consolidated billing under a single Urband account.
