History
Founded in 2015 in Mexico City by Mariana Castillo, Eduardo Paulsen, Benigno Pérez, and María José Madero, the brand emerged as a direct-to-consumer alternative to established optical monopolies. It gained cultural significance by democratizing access to high-quality eyewear in the Latin American market. Historically, it represents a shift toward digital-first retail models in the region, influencing how independent fashion brands navigate traditional brick-and-mortar industries through localized design and transparent pricing structures.
