Tura Inc., the inventor of fashion eyewear, is celebrating its 75th anniversary by re-launching the Tura Brand. Starting January, the iconic American brand will release new eyewear styles and marketing materials that incorporate its American design sensibility, with handcrafted details and heritage of innovation. Tura was founded in 1938 as “The House of Levoy,” a dispensary on Madison Avenue in New York City. Company founder Monroe Levoy believed that eyewear was just one element of a fashion wardrobe. Tura promoted the concept of “wardrobing” eyewear to match color schemes in clothing, and thus the modern concept of fashion eyewear was born. The re-mastered Tura Brand includes 45 optical and sun frames (acetate and metal) for women and men with multiple color variations. Each style falls within an expertly curated Tura Brand sub-group: Intricates, Infinity, Elements, Mosaic, Simply Tura, Lotus and Brilliance. While each sub-group appeals to a different consumer, all pieces blend Tura’s impeccable craftsmanship, distinctive jewelry-inspired detailing, graceful lines and unparalleled American style.

Youthful in design, this collection offers more than 40 optical and 20 sunwear designs – featuring outstanding color with an attitude.  Colors of red and black, purple and pink, black and white and brown and green, just to note a few.  The unique frame characteristics include combinations of metals and plastic to create the interest. PHILOSOPHY: “The world is changing.   And with it so are the people.  Life is changing.  As is peoples’ attitude to lots of things.  Humphrey’s has changed.  For precisely that reason.” that was how Audrey Pavia, VP of Marketing explained the re-launch of Humphrey‘s eyewear.  A complete revamp, from brand language through to visual imagery. The new slogan “positively different“ and the ‘V’ sign, the symbol of victory, represent the optimism of the “Humphrey‘s generation”. Young people aren’t fazed by anything. They do their own thing, live their lives and make decisions with complete self-confidence. They don’t need any role models; they themselves are the stars of their own lives. And that‘s not mere conjecture. These findings are based on an extensive market research study,...

TITANflex was the only brand to win the 2012 iF Material Award for TITANflex 820578, a men’s frame in the striking and minimalist design typical of the brand.  The iF material award was created as a platform for important new developments from the world of materials. Lead by the renowned design professor Fritz Frenkler, iF’s international specialist jury selected the winners from submissions from 48 countries. The expert jury was particularly impressed by the sophisticated technologies used to operate the flexible memory metal of the TITANflex 820578. A particular innovation is the temple design of this full rim frame with a directly soldered bridge: fine, straight perforations are combined with an attractive two-tone design. The perforations are milled, using an unusual processing method that is employed due to the special material properties of TITANflex and that is not used by any other model on the market. For this award-winning model an optimum combination of different manufacturing processes was used. The result is a modern, sporty design that impress thanks to light feel and classy, metallic look. www.tura.com | (800) 242-8872 (TURA)
