Andy Wolf is expanding its AWearness collection—first launched in 2021 with acetate frames—with the addition of new metal models and matching sun clips. These latest pieces are designed to be versatile, durable, and aesthetically refined. The new metal styles strike a balance between classic and contemporary design, while the acetate frames pay homage to Andy Wolf’s earliest collections. Thoughtfully crafted details—such as fine faceting, embossed textures, and custom-developed hinge systems—transform each frame into a three-dimensional design object. A recurring pattern inspired by the letters “A” and “W” runs throughout the collection, giving each frame a distinct visual identity—even without a visible logo. Every component of the AWearness frames is manufactured in Europe, from the temples to the hinges, with the sole exception of the titanium nose pads, which are produced in Japan. The new models come in four timeless colorways: rose gold, gold, black-silver, and gun matte. Each frame includes a matching sun clip that can instantly transform it into a pair of sunglasses. All frames in the AWearness collection are crafted from fully recycled materials such as Acetate Renew and monel, reinforcing the brand’s commitment to sustainability.
