HISTORY
Sama is a luxury eyewear brand founded in 1998 by designer Sheila Vance. The brand is known for its high-end sunglasses and prescription eyewear, handcrafted with the finest materials and innovative designs. Vance began her career working for a major eyewear manufacturer. However, she soon became disillusioned with the lack of innovation and creativity in the industry and decided to strike out on her own to create a brand that would stand out in the marketplace. She founded Sama with a mission to create eyewear that was not only functional, but also a work of art. Vance drew inspiration from her travels around the world, incorporating elements of different cultures into her designs.
Sama quickly gained a reputation for quality craftsmanship and avant-garde design. The brand's signature styles include bold, oversized frames and intricate metal detailing that have been worn by celebrities such as Beyoncé, Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt. In addition to its innovative designs, Sama Eyewear is known for its commitment to using sustainable materials and eco-friendly manufacturing processes. The brand uses recycled metal and biodegradable acetate in its frames, and has implemented a number of green initiatives in its manufacturing facilities. Today, Sama continues to be a leader in the luxury eyewear industry, creating outstanding designs that push the boundaries of what is possible in eyewear.
SAMA’S GLOBALLY- RECOGNIZED TECHNOLOGY
Since its inception, Sama Eyewear has been an innovator in the world of fashion eyewear, continually introducing new technologies that have become benchmarks for other eyewear designers striving to emulate the brand's unique identity. Sama disrupts traditional eyewear manufacturing by pioneering new techniques and materials. In a world where other brands outsource to Europe, Sama made a bold move by keeping everything local, opting instead to produce its eyewear in Japan, a country known for its engineering prowess and technical ingenuity. Today, Sama eyewear is recognized for its high-quality lenses, unique metal frames, exquisite metal plating and bold decorative embellishments.
Sama eyewear is uniquely differentiated by its world-renowned SLP, colored mirror sun and precious metal lenses, offering unparalleled style and performance. The plastic lenses are extremely lightweight and comfortable, as well as impact and scratch resistant. They offer 100% UV filtration and are available in a variety of custom colors, including: Noir, Sky, Storm and Ice. Their flat sheet beta-titanium frames and components are cut using specialized lasers that produce sharp, edge-free, non-deformed frames and components, unlike commonly used cutting presses. The 5–10 micron plating ensures rich, lasting color and durability that far exceeds industry standards. So if you are looking for a pair of luxurious, high-end frames for an avant-garde look, Sama has something for everyone.
