Pop-Art Inspired Laminated Mask with Melting Geometry
The Dripper is defined by its monolithic mask silhouette and "dripping" architectural lines. It translates the aesthetic of high-tech injected sports masks into premium milled acetate, offering a wide field of vision typically reserved for athletic gear but executed with the luxury finish of Italian art-eyewear.
Technical Craftsmanship & Material Details
Acetate-Laminated Mask Construction: Handcrafted in Italy using complex lamination techniques. Multiple layers of top-quality cellulose acetate are fused together to create the "dripping" color effects and structural depth that characterize the frame.
Milled-to-Shape Precision: Unlike molded plastic, the Dripper is milled from solid blocks of acetate, allowing for sharp, deliberate angles and organic, melting curves that maintain their shape and luster over time.
Hammered Metal Components: The frame features visible, hammered stainless steel and titanium inserts. These industrial accents provide a "high-tech" mechanical counterpoint to the fluid, artistic front.
Prismatic Lens Technology: Often paired with iridescent mirror lenses (such as pink-gold or silver), providing a futuristic look that complements the pop-art vibrancy of the chassis.
Sustainable Hand-Finishing: Every pair undergoes a careful preparation process, combining traditional Italian artisan bench-work with ethical, environmentally friendly production methods.
Fit & Ergonomics
Oversized Visionary Field: The 146mm total width and 134mm lens structure provide an expansive, "panoramic" field of vision. This makes it an ideal choice for large face shapes or those seeking a true statement piece.
Advanced Weight Distribution: Despite its volume, the integration of lightweight titanium and stainless steel prevents the frame from feeling heavy. The weight is balanced toward the temples to ensure a secure fit that doesn't slide.
Colored Acetate Temple Bonding: The temples utilize a signature Portrait "staple"—lamination by bonding—where contrasting colors are fused to create a seamless, multi-dimensional profile that is visible from the side.
Technical Dimensions
Model: THE DRIPPER
Lens / Mask Width: 134mm
Temple Length: 150mm
Total Frame Width: 146mm
Shape: Oversized Mask
Manufacturing: Entirely Handmade in Italy
Limited Edition Colorways: Black (C.01), Blue (C.10), Purple Blue (C.08)
Expert Note
Expert Note: The Dripper is a Limited Edition collector's piece. Its 146mm width makes it one of the widest frames in the Portrait collection, making it best suited for large face shapes. Because of its "melting" design and vibrant colorways, it functions more as a piece of sculpture than traditional eyewear. It is highly recommended for those who want to "frame their individuality" through the lens of contemporary pop-art.
