New from Qoins® at Mido

The value of a collectable object frequently depends on the rarity and beauty of the object itself. This is why the models in the Qoins® collection also have every right to be considered collectable.

The design characterizing the Qoins® line is made distinctive by the skilful combination of a retro flavor and technological innovation to create eyewear that conveys strong sensations, suggestions and emotions.

The leitmotif of the Mido 2010 collection is the cigar lighter: the structure, proportions and sensations that a designer lighter conveys on contact. Frequently, this purely masculine object is kept for its intrinsic value dictated not only by value or age, but also by the memories that are easily conjured up by such a special personal item.

Okia wanted to pay tribute to this object by creating a new eyewear collection for cultured, mature men who prefer eyewear with character. Thanks to original decorative details achieved with the HD technology patented by OKIA, it has been possible to create an unusual texture reproducing the look and feel of a cigar lighter, with pins and hinges that are a precise copy of the typical cigar lighter mechanism. The new models also have a particularly comfortable front piece with temples rich in minute, refined details. Classic dark colors give the models a feeling of refined elegance and exclusiveness.
 
Qoins® is a collection for men inspired by the design and retro flavor of the Fifties and Sixties. This collection captures the timeless style of these decades by using innovative materials that give the frames a unique feel.
