Historical Context

Founded in 1995, DITA began with vintage-inspired eyewear drawing on the distinctive shapes and styling of the 1950s and 1960s. The brand initially developed retro silhouettes with bold coloured lenses before expanding into more contemporary interpretations of classic forms. In 1999, DITA shifted its production focus to Japan and established long-term relationships with Japanese eyewear artisans, making Japanese craftsmanship central to its identity.
