STEPPER has always been changing eyewear for the better. Challenging convention to beat a new path. Delivering effortless vision by utilising new materials and processes.
TX5 allows STEPPER to create eyewear that would not be possible using conventional materials. Manufactured in its ‘final form’ (so it fits first and fits last) in a material that is 25% lighter than acetate, has endless colouring possibilities, is durable, flexible and is skin friendly.
Titanium is one of the newest and most advanced metals for frame manufacture with its routes in aerospace. STEPPER utilises the intrinsic qualities of Titanium; lightness, strength, flexibility, durability and hypoallergenic qualities to produce high performance, attractive eyewear.
