JAPANESE ACETATE

A PERFECT EXAMPLE OF DITA'S UNCOMPROMISING PRODUCTION PHILOSOPHY IS THE WAY IN WHICH WE POLISH OUR ACETATE FRAMES. UNLIKE BRANDS THAT COMMERCIALLY PROCESS MASSIVE QUANTITIES OF ACETATE FRAMES AS QUICKLY AND CHEAPLY AS POSSIBLE, WE PREFER TO SLOWly TUMBLE OUR ACETATE FRAMES IN GENUINE, HAND-CUT BAMBOO CHIPS. WHILE UTILIZING A RENEWABLE RESOURCE, OUR TRADITIONAL BAMBOO POLISHING PROCESS RESULTS IN A DEEPER, RICHER, HIGHER QUALITY FINISH THAT YOU’LL IMMEDIATELY SEE AND FEEL THE MOMENT YOU HOLD A DITA FRAME IN YOUR HANDS.

JAPANESE QUALITY

WE FINISH ALL OUR FRAMES IN JAPAN. NOT BECAUSE WE CAN, BUT BECAUSE WE MUST. BECAUSE THE LEVEL OF DETAIL IN OUR FRAMES REQUIRES THE UTMOST LEVEL OF QUALITY, AND THAT QUALITY IS FOUND IN JAPAN.

CREATING A SINGLE DITA FRAME CAN TAKE AS MANY AS 350 SEPARATE PRODUCTION STEPS OVER 8 MONTHS. OUR MANUFACTURING PROCESS DELICATELY BALANCES TRADITIONAL AND MODERN PRODUCTION TECHNIQUES AND TECHNOLOGIES CAREFULLY SELECTED AT EACH STAGE TO GENERATE THE BEST RESULT. A PERFECT EXAMPLE OF DITA’S UNCOMPROMISING PRODUCTION PHILOSOPHY IS THE WAY IN WHICH WE POLISH OUR ACETATE FRAMES. WE MANUFACTURE IN SOME OF THE WORLD’S OLDEST AND MOST RESPECTED EYEWEAR FACTORIES, INCLUDING FACTORIES OWNED BY THE SAME FAMILIES FOR GENERATIONS.

DESIGN TECHNOLOGY

DITA UTILIZES CUTTING EDGE COMPUTER-AIDED DESIGN TECHNOLOGY TO ASSIST IN THE HYPERTECHNICAL ASPECTS OF FRAME DESIGN. THIS IS THE SAME COSTLY & SOPHISTICATED TECHNOLOGY USED TO DESIGN THE WORLD'S FINEST WRISTWATCHES AND AUTOMOBILES.

CRAFTSMEN AND MASTER CRAFTSMEN CONTINUOUSLY EVALUATE EACH FRAMES' SHAPE, FIT, AND FINISH THROUGHOUT THE PRODUCTION PROCESS. RUNNING THEIR HANDS OVER THE FRAMES' SURFACES IN SEARCH OF THE SLIGHTEST IMPERFECTION OR IMBALANCE, THEY WILL CONTINUE SHAPING AND POLISHING UNTIL THEY DETERMINE THAT THE FINISHED PRODUCT MEETS DITA'S EXCEEDINGLY HIGH QUALITY STANDARDS.
