La Matta unleashes a striking
new style in its eyewear collection
What’s your
turnaround time?
“You wouldn’t believe it, but we need
to redo that job yet again”.
It can be as simple as -2.00 OU in a fullrim metal, but if
you’ve been in the optical ?eld long enough you have probably
heard that from your lab more than once.
This point begs to ask, how and what to expect from your lab
in terms of turnaround time.
We all want our surfaced jobs as fast as possible, however,
whether you believe in jinxing or not, it seems as though the
more you inquire into “that job from hell”, the longer it will
take. So next time your job just can’t seem to get out of the lab
alive, it may be wise to just relax and let the lab run its course.
Another solution is to under promise the turnaround time to
your customers. This will leave you and your lab more time to
get the job done the ?rst time..... correctly.
Beg to di?er? Let us know.

The La Matta eyewear collection is
about creating a bold look to attract
attention. Manufactured by Area98 the
series, unleashed at Silmo 2013, is all
about details that surprise and conquer.
With eight models to choose from,
the line combines sophisticated and
alluring appeal that never goes unnoticed.
La Matta features the animal print trend
softened by purple, green or blue hues,
customized with pearly nuances. Using
digital printing technology, the graphics
and colour effects are inspired by murals.
The frame is available in metal
or acetate, including bicolour, offering
feminine lines with a soft, sinuous bridge,
emphasizing the 60’s-inspired cat shape
eye. Each frame reveals its personality
with temple accents, such as exclusive
gems in acetate or decorative elements
strung like pearls of a necklace. The
technique of micro-casting, inspired by
the art of goldsmiths, was used to apply
a metal décor to the temples, creating a
nugget with enameled colors or in glossy
or matt version. It is a detail, a shade, a
texture: just enough to find the La Matta
soul in every woman’s style.
