Reflections – Italian Eyewear Exhibition
One of the highlights of our U.S. journey will be Reflections – The Italian Eyewear Exhibition, organized in partnership with ITA – Italian Trade Agency and ANFAO – Associazione Nazionale Fabbricanti Articoli Ottici.
Hosted at the iconic IAC Building in New York City, Reflections is a curated showcase celebrating the excellence of Italian eyewear manufacturing. The event brings together selected Italian companies representing craftsmanship, innovation, sustainability, and design culture.
For La Giardiniera, participation in Reflections is more than an exhibition—it is a statement of identity. As a family-owned manufacturer based in Northern Italy since 1973, we are proud to represent the values of Italian production: quality materials, precision engineering, flexible manufacturing, and close collaboration with independent brands and optical professionals.
The partnership with ITA and ANFAO underscores the strength of Italy’s eyewear ecosystem and reinforces our commitment to expanding meaningful, long-term relationships in the United States.
LOFT Eyewear Show – Where Independent Spirit Meets Design
The LOFT Eyewear Show is widely recognized for its curated selection of independent eyewear brands. Set in creative venues like Chelsea Industrial and High Line Nine, LOFT offers an intimate and design-focused atmosphere—perfectly aligned with La Giardiniera’s philosophy.
Here, we look forward to meeting independent optical stores, distributors, and emerging designers seeking premium Italian production for acetate and injected collections. Our flexible manufacturing approach and technical capabilities make us a trusted partner for brands aiming to differentiate themselves in a competitive market.
EYECONS – Energy and Contemporary Vision
Taking place at The Glasshouse, EYECONS brings together contemporary eyewear brands and forward-thinking professionals. The event reflects the evolving identity of independent optical—dynamic, design-driven, and community-oriented. For La Giardiniera, EYECONS represents another opportunity to present our technical expertise in injected plastic, TR90/Grilamid frames, and premium acetate constructions, while connecting with U.S. partners who value both innovation and reliability.
Vision Expo East – The Global Optical Stage
In Orlando, we will attend Vision Expo East at the Orange County Convention Center—one of the most influential optical trade shows in North America. Vision Expo combines exhibition, education, and industry networking, bringing together manufacturers, distributors, optical retailers, and vision care professionals from across the globe.
For La Giardiniera, this event is a strategic opportunity to strengthen our presence in the U.S., explore new collaborations, and introduce our manufacturing capabilities to a broader audience—particularly brands seeking reliable European production partners.
Strengthening Our U.S. Presence
These events represent a significant milestone in La Giardiniera’s international growth strategy. The United States remains a key market for premium independent eyewear, and we are committed to building long-term partnerships based on quality, flexibility, and trust.
Whether you are an independent optical store, distributor, or brand looking for a Made in Italy production partner, we would be pleased to meet you during Eyewear Weeks.
If you will be attending any of these events, please feel free to contact us to schedule a meeting.
We look forward to seeing you in New York and Orlando this March.
