With Wissing frames, individuality takes center stage through bold design and striking color expression. Known for its independent, family-driven approach, Wissing focuses on creating distinctive eyewear through custom craftsmanship, where each frame is carefully handmade and truly one of a kind. The result is eyewear that not only stands out visually but also delivers long-lasting quality and comfort.
Walter Wissing & Co. has produced handmade cellulose acetate eyeglass frames in Bensheim, Germany—and the company describes itself not as a factory line, but as an eyewear manufactory: uniqueness, strong color, and classic craft over volume.
Every frame is 100% handmade in Bensheim. That commitment is what makes the rest possible: Wissing can produce the same model in essentially any color and any size, so the frame can follow the face instead of the other way around. Wissing® frames are carried in optical stores in about 30 countries—for people who want glasses that feel like a deliberate choice, not a default.
At Konstantin Vision, as an authorized Wissing dealer, we carry Wissing frames at our NYC showroom for clients who want German handcraft with real personality. Wissing suits those who care about fit, color, and individuality—and who are willing to look past mass-market sameness.
Our licensed opticians help you choose shapes and finishes that work with your prescription, features, and style, with same-day lens options where appropriate through our in-house lab. If you want eyewear that reads as artisan-made and yours, Wissing belongs on your short list.
Wissing’s positioning is direct: every face is unique, so the glasses should be too. The brand’s long-running strength is individual spectacle frames—including work as a design and manufacturing partner for independent opticians worldwide—so the craft culture runs deep.
The realcycle® program turns production into something visibly personal: handmade uniques from 100% recycled acetate left over from other models. Roughly 150 g of acetate can go into producing a frame of about 15 g; remnants are formed into plates and used again—more sustainability, more one-of-a-kind character, without treating “eco” as an afterthought.
Wissing frames are particularly known for their multi-layer acetate construction, offering depth, color complexity, and endless design possibilities. Choose from a variety of shapes — from clean, structured lines to more playful and expressive forms — along with a wide spectrum of colors ranging from subtle tones to vibrant combinations. Symmetrical and asymmetrical designs allow for even greater personalization, ensuring that each frame feels truly unique.
As one of the most innovative names in contemporary eyewear, Wissing continues to redefine what custom frames can be. Every pair is crafted as an individual piece, meaning no two frames are ever identical. This dedication to handcrafted production and limitless customization makes Wissing an ideal choice for those seeking eyewear that reflects personality, creativity, and uncompromising quality.
Wissing frames are meant to stand out through color, proportion, and hand finishing—not through loud logos. The BY WISSING® line reflects the same idea: unusual, reliable frames rooted in tradition, still aimed at wearers who do not want to disappear behind generic fronts.
For Konstantin Vision clients, that means Wissing pairs well with a precise fitting: we align bridge, temple length, and lens choice so a bold frame still feels balanced and wearable every day. Wissing eyewear at Konstantin Vision is expert-guided selection plus professional optics in Manhattan—so your frames look as intentional up close as they do from across the room.
