Spotlight on Gotti Switzerland

It’s time for another blog where we put one of our partnered eyewear brands under the spotlight.

Founded by optician-turned-designer Sven Gotti in 1993, their products are available in 40 countries. We acquired this collection in early 2018 and it has proven popular with our customers who favour a minimalist look and a lightweight frame when choosing their eyewear.
