Vinylize is a small independent European brand that pioneered the development of using vinyl records into eyewear. At their Budapest workshop, each record is lovingly and individually handcrafted over a period of many months into contemporary and very distinctive eyewear pieces. The highest quality materials and master craftsmanship are combined to create each unique piece, which portrays the love Vinylize has for music, quality and individuality.

Vinylize glasses and sunglasses are created during a special process where vinyl records are fused to cellulose acetate. The materials age and shrink at different rates which allows the frame to change shape and become concave, giving the eventual wearer a comfortable fit. The frame front still has the original grooves from the vinyl record, giving a textured finish. The acetate has a mixture of colours running through it which softens the look and adds a dimension to the piece.
