Precision Engineering • Ergonomic Screwless Architecture • EU-Compliant Optical Wholesale
Engineered for high-end optical practices across Sofia, Plovdiv, and the Black Sea region. Direct factory supply meeting EN ISO standards.
Strategic frame distribution designed around Bulgaria's distinctive geographic, economic, and optical trade parameters.
Sofia's optical market is driven by high-density tech corporate personnel, demanding premium blue-light filtration paired with architectural acetate frames. Our GLOSSI and URBAND PARIS collections provide upscale boutique aesthetics without inflated brand licensing premiums.
Coastal and maritime lifestyles necessitate marine-grade sunglass architectures. Leaning on our LEAP sun-series, our polarized nylon models resist salt spray, high humidity, and intense summer UV rays (UV400 Category 3), providing durability for local retail chains.
Outside the capital, independent optical stores prioritize resilient pediatric eyewear. EYELET's patented TR90 soft-lock string system eliminates fragile metallic hinge screws, solving typical breakage dilemmas for school-aged active children across regional hubs.
Insight into shifting wholesale acquisition strategies for independent Bulgarian optical retailers and distribution networks.

| Pediatric Durability Demand | Disposable, rigid children frames requiring frequent servicing. | High requirement for screwless, biocompatible hyper-flexible materials. | Patented nylon-string soft-lock hinges made with medical-grade TR90. |
| Digital Visual Ergonomics | Generic uncertified blue-filter off-the-shelf reading glasses. | Tailored optical-grade lenses with engineered chromatic balance. | Integrated custom prescription glazing ready frames and laboratory blanks. |
Combining French optical design precision with automated high-tolerance Shenzhen assembly lines.
Traditional miniature screws back out through thermal expansion and lateral torque. Our screwless and active hinges ensure long-term retention and smooth movement without maintenance.
Milled from custom cellulose acetate blocks, curing through multi-stage tumbling and hand polishing to achieve rich, non-reactive finishes suitable for hyper-allergic skin types.
Utilizing pure Japanese titanium and beta-titanium wire for the Windsor and Trend collections, achieving high tensile strength with frame weights under 9 grams.
Every batch shipped to European ports comes accompanied with certified optical reports, nickel-release certificates (EN 16128), and batch-coded declaration documents.
Essential operational details regarding logistics, customs procedures, and inventory terms for the Bulgarian market.
Shipments to Sofia, Varna, or Plovdiv are dispatched via DDP (Delivered Duty Paid) or DAP air freight (DHL/FedEx). We generate comprehensive commercial invoices with standard EU TARIC codes (9003.11 for plastic, 9003.19 for precious/base metals), simplifying VAT accounting through the Bulgarian National Revenue Agency (NRA).
Yes. Corrective prescription optical frames are classified as Class I Medical Devices in the European Union. We provide full technical documentation, CE marking, conformity declarations, and traceability indices required by the Bulgarian Executive Agency for Medicines (BDA).
Absolutely. A core advantage of partnering with Urband is our unified wholesale account setup. Bulgarian retailers can consolidate orders combining EYELET (pediatric), GLOSSI (women's designer), URBAND PARIS (sports/technical), and COUPLE (reading frames) into a single invoice to meet baseline MOQs.
Our frames feature precision-cut optical grooves designed to accommodate high-index, progressive, and toric lenses without frame deformation. Detailed frame base-curve data, circumference blueprints, and lab tracer files are accessible upon request for automated edging equipment (Essilor, Nidek, Briot).
