Glasses and cases are inseparable, that's why at Fedon we pay close attention to the quality of the materials we use for our proposals, the primary function of the eyewear case is the protection of what it contains, and this happens both thanks to its shape and the materials chosen.
The function of the eyewear case is, in fact, essential to offer the customer a complete and satisfying user experience.
Of course not, each material has different characteristics that make it suitable for a specific shape, component, or part of the eyewear case. Fedon's commitment to sustainability leads to always finding original solutions for eyeglass cases. Materials research, in fact, does not stop at the material for the external finishes of the cases, but it also looks at the internal materials which, like the external ones, can be recycled.
The main difference between the two materials chosen to produce an eyewear case lies in their physical characteristics. The external material must be resistant, because the eyeglass case is often in contact with objects that could permanently damage it when stored in bags or backpacks. The internal lining, on the other hand, must protect the lenses from scratches, and for this reason it must be composed of a soft and silky material specifically designed for this function.
Our archive of sustainable materials contains a wide range of tested materials, and one of the materials that meets all the mentioned requirements is undoubtedly Eco Ambra.
A material composed of 50% recycled polyester and 50% conventional polyester, obtained by flocking, which is a process by which the fibers are arranged in order to achieve a velvet effect. Soft and pleasant to the touch, it is an ideal solution for the inner lining of the case, because as our tests have shown, it protects the lenses without the risk of scratching them.
