Bird & Cage

Bird & Cage is synonymous with freedom of expression and individuality. Each pair of glasses is entirely conceived and created by Max Shustovskiy, eyewear designer and craftsman, but above all founder of the brand itself, who works on each pair of glasses from the initial design to assembly in about 72 hours of meticulous, strictly handmade work. Bird & Cage frames are made of buffalo horn, one of the first materials used in the history of eyewear, which still fascinates for its natural beauty and unique quality. This material allows to improve both the colors and the shapes of the glasses, but above all it adapts according to the temperature of the skin proving to be extremely comfortable.
