HABRIMA - Hanseatische Brillenmanufaktur was founded in October 2015 by Nikolai Bender. Once started in a garage, Nikolai Bender and his team now pursue the business in their Hamburg store on 17 Ballindamm right in the city center.
The idea is to develop timeless design and produce handcrafted eyewear. Focus is placed on the customer’s needs, as HABRIMA puts out small numbers and therefore individually determines color, form and size.
Feedstock for it’s eyewear is obtained from a traditional family business in Italy producing cotton based acetat for decades. Sheets of this natural material are used to shape the frames. The hinges and all other materials applied are made in Germany. Right now the collection consists of about thirty models in eighty colors.
HABRIMA means quality, design & individuality
