Our Glasses Materials
Every frame begins with a question: how can we merge refined design with functional excellence?
The answer lies in the materials.Beyond aesthetics, the real soul of eyewear lies in what it's made from and we understand just how important those materials are in shaping the look, feel and longevity of our frames.
Why Materials Matter
When it comes to glasses frames, quality is everything, especially when you're building a brand that lasts. From comfort and durability to finish and environmental impact, the materials used shape every part of the experience. We believe your eyewear should feel just as considered and intentional as the rest of your wardrobe.
Our Signature: Premium Acetate Frames
We proudly work with high-grade acetate, a plant-based, hypoallergenic material prized in high quality eyewear. Unlike other alternatives, acetate is warm to the touch, effortlessly lightweight and allows for rich and natural coloration, from bold transparents to soft tortoiseshells and deep blacks, as well as custom blends exclusive to HILLS.
Each of our acetate frames is cut, polished and assembled with precision.
The result? Eyewear that feels sculptural, refined and relaxed, like your favorite tailored jacket, but better, a unique pair of iconic HILLS.
Elevated Eyewear Frames, Designed to Last
Our eyewear frames are made with timelessness in mind, blending handcrafted details with thoughtful engineering. Stainless steel cores reinforce our acetate temples, while custom hinges and minimalist hardware, complete with our signature logo, keep the design clean, refined, and built to endure.
No matter if you reach for your HILLS frames every day or save them for statement moments, they’re designed to move with you, wherever life takes you.
Choosing eyewear made from exceptional, elegant materials is an act of rebellion and we’re here for it. It’s about valuing what you wear closest to your eyes, every single day, sitting perfectly on your face.
Because at HILLS, it’s about how they feel. And thanks to our premium materials, they feel damn good.
