MYKITA | Leica
Introducing MYKITA | Leica, a collaboration between two industry leaders of engineering, design and quality made in Germany, dedicated to bringing the highest level of engineering to the world of eyewear. MYKITA Leica will be added to our current MYKITA optical collection at Evershine Optical which includes the No.1 , Lite and LessRim collection.
Defined by its shared commitment to holistic product development, pioneering technology and precision craftsmanship, the partnership pairs the innovative product engineering by MYKITA with the iconic design, the finest lenses and optics from the premium camera brand.
“The collaboration has revolved around creating an incomparable product in every aspect, and the individual manufacturing process used to make each pair of glasses and every lens sums up the essence of our partnership perfectly.” says MYKITA founder Moritz Krueger.
Product Design
MYKITA | Leica is designed in collaboration with Leica and handcrafted at the MYKITA HAUS in Berlin, the MYKITA.
Leica collection is defined by its reduced, functional design focused on superior performance. Seamless mechanical solutions and material connections echo the beautiful precision engineering of Leica’s iconic products and create a refined eyewear aesthetic.
Signature elements from the Leica design language will resonate with brand enthusiasts while forming a new, standalone style for glasses:
- The familiar outline of the Leica camera lens hood appears in the lens shape of the frames.
- Another recurring style element references the knurled grip on camera lenses – this non-slip surface is used for the inside of the steel temples, as well as on the top bridges.
- The defining palette features black and grey tones with contrasting pops of well-known Leica colours, including red, silver and white.
Inspired by a camera lens hood, the MYLON top bar protects from overhead sunrays.

They have been awarded Red Dot Award for product design in 2020. “Crafted with meticulous detail, the collection of sunglasses elegantly translates renowned Leica design elements into a distinctive eyewear aesthetic.” – Red Dot jury statement.
