There is a new label in town with a promising product called Wakatobi Eyewear. The label is originally from Bogor, West Java and is offering you access to boutique quality eyewear for those fashion minded, young at heart people without the boutique-esque pretension. Through the press release that we got, it was mentioned that the brand name came from their deepest love to their birthplace, Indonesia, the largest archipelago on earth.They are very proud of the abundance of exotic and beautiful places on the land. The name of Wakatobi itself is an acronym of group of islands in Southeast Sulawesi region which forms the archipelago, such as Wangi, Kaledupa, Tomia, and Binongko.
You might have heard this before, but the place is famed as world’s best diving spot with its extraordinary marine biodiversity. A pleasure that all divers seek. Those facts bring them to the philosophy that life is truly beautiful and should be enjoyed through each individual’s eyes, and helping people to get there is their vision. Along with those mission, they also have a program called MATAMATA where everytime you buy a pair from them, they will donate another pair to those in need.
As for the quality, all of the Wakatobi Eyewear frames are comparable to the branded frames you can find in the market. They are all made of high-quality acetate. Acetate originates from natural cotton fibers and pulp, which gives the natural feels of the material. Main characteristics of acetate are strong, lightweight, and flexible.
