Gotti Switzerland Eyewear consists of ophthalmic frames and sunglasses made of the finest materials: three-dimensional, processed titanium, specially manufactured acetate and genuine buffalo horn. The entire collection is produced by specialists in their respective fields of expertise: titanium frames are made in Japan and the acetates are manufactured in Germany. The finishing touches of every pair of Gotti frames are done by hand. A ceramic coating is applied to the titanium styles and the acetates are hand polished. Gotti Eyewear is conceived and designed, from the beginning, to be the consumer’s favorite glasses. The colors and shapes complement each other and make every look in the mirror more pleasant than the last, the company says.
