SUTRO was a high-end eyewear brand hailing from San Francisco. All Sutro Eyewear products were designed and developed in-house at their San Francisco location and hand made in Italy with original tooling, designs, colors, finishes, and parts ranging from our Patent Pending "Ratchet Hinge" featuring featuring Barberini's glass, anti reflective lenses, the worlds best. Sutro frames are made from Grilamid TR, the strongest, most resilient material available in eyewear. It is remarkably scratch and fracture- resistant. It withstands variable pressure with no sign of fatigue and is non-allergenic. Grilamid can be heat formed to custom tune the frame fit. Most reputable opticians will heat set custom adjustments to suit your unique fit at no charge or for a nominal fee.
Steve Allen was a believer of the project from the beginning and provided an online wholesale & retail outlet to process orders back in the beginnings of SutroVision. After a successful run of things, eventually the partners began developing their own things & have all gone their seperate ways, shuddering the business some time ago. Steve worked out purchasing all remaining inventory and is offering this high end eyewear to the general public until it is gone.
Sutro grew out of a conversation about vision and mastery. Years of friendship and collaboration with a broad range of visionary artists, musicians, athletes, creators and craftsmen revealed essential qualities shared by all masters no matter what their art or discipline. Balance, rigorous effort, a deep understanding of history and above all - vision. Sutro products are created from this visionary spirit. At Sutro, you will find a love of craftsmanship and a dedicated focus on detail, the finest materials, fit, form and function. From their signature stainless hinge to our use of the finest lens optics available. Vision for the visionary - made in Italy, for you.
Sutro Vision Eyewear was featured on the TV shows, Sons of Anarchy, Pushing Daisies, and worn by band members of Mastodon, Social Distortion, and Johnny Marr of The Smiths. We even designed one specifically for James Hetfield of Metallica (long sold out but if you are lucky to own a pair, they fetch $$$$). Amy Winehouse even owned a few pairs when she played at a small club in San Francisco in April 2007.
The founder and owner of Bevel Heaven wears SUTRO Vision eyewear. "The pictures don't give you a full enough sense of the product. You've got to put them in your hand to feel the movement and hear the "click, click, click" sound of the hinges that no other glasses have. The first time I saw these I was reminded of a 56 Chevy... I'm an old hot rod guy. I have my flat black Guerreros w/satin hinges and a matte tortoise CZECH w/the satin hinge I wear depending on my mood. My wife loves her camel MODPOP which I sometimes wear myself.... Give SUTRO a try, you will not regret it"
