Distinctively different.
"In a world filled with the same frames carrying different logos..."
Our mission
To create world-class eyewear that preserves, celebrates, and shares African stories through exceptional design. Stories deserve to live beyond books and museums — they deserve to be worn.
Signature detail
The Y-Symbol
Our custom rivet — the Y-Symbol — is inspired by the South African flag, a quiet mark of origin set into every frame.
Signature detail
Custom temple core
The core of every temple carries a pattern drawn from Nguni tribal design — heritage worked into the frame’s structure, not just its surface.
Materials
Sourced with care
Italian Mazzucchelli acetate
Prized for its depth of colour and hand-finished feel.
Japanese Takiron acetate
Precision-milled acetate, chosen for durability and clarity.
“
I realised Africa wasn't missing consumers in eyewear—it was missing ownership.
Lombia is our contribution to changing that.
