Meet the Brand: Nina Mur

Welcome back to another A Proper View brand spotlight! Today we are highlighting Nina Mur, an independent eyewear brand based in Madrid, Spain. Each frame is designed and produced in-house by hand, and made from ethically produced wood. A Nina frame might be ideal for you if you are looking for something sustainable and intentional with a design that leans sculptural.

Nina Mur frames are architectural and both painstakingly and sustainably made.

What can you expect from a Nina frame?

  • unexpected colors that are surprisingly wearable

  • geometric shapes and bridges

  • slightly asymmetric details

  • interesting designs that lean more rare than shocking

You are not limited by the shapes in the colorways you see here on our shelves. Your Nina frame can be fully customized to you! In fact, that’s the fun part. We will help you select the colors of the hand polished wooden frame front and the sleek titanium temples. You can also customize the size of the frame and add or remove nosepads for your ideal fit.

The Importance of Sunglasses - Year Round!

Many people just throw on their sunglasses only on bright, sunny days to see better and reduce the sun’s glare. However, shades are more than just a helpful fashion accessory that help us see more clearly when the sun is obscuring our view. Sunglasses are great for cutting down brightness when the sun is out (that’s why we call them sunglasses, right?), but that’s not all they’re good for. A quality pair of sunglasses are a must for everyone all year round!
