Ballo

Ballo frames are handmade in Woodstock, Cape Town. At the core of every eyewood frame is a unique combination of recycled paper and off-cut timber, which are laminated together with a bio resin. This gives our frames durability and allows any pair of Ballo to be fit with prescription lenses.

Each frame is fitted with either high quality polarized or CR39 UV400 reflective mirror lenses, and spring hinges.
