VANNI and Oscalito Collaborate on Sunglasses Collection Using Cotton-Derived Acetate

Turin-based eyewear brand VANNI and textile manufacturer Oscalito have announced a collaborative sunglasses collection featuring three models: Dora, Aurora, and Valentine. The project emphasizes material continuity, utilizing cellulose acetate derived from cotton to bridge the brands' industrial heritage. Color palettes draw inspiration from Oscalito’s yarns, including black, white, blue, moss green, and Havana tones, alongside exclusive VANNI acetates like DAMA, Pixel, and Blade. Packaging incorporates upcycled Oscalito silk and filoscozia cotton collars. Both companies are part of the Exclusive Brands Torino network, with Oscalito supporting the Slow Fiber movement. The collaboration positions itself against fast fashion practices by prioritizing certified raw materials and controlled supply chains, focusing on design subtlety rather than immediate visual recognition.
