Vinylize began with a hand-carved frame made from a 12-inch Creedence Clearwater Revival record, assembled with cigar box hinges. In 2000, the brand set out to develop a way to produce eyewear from vinyl records, later establishing a dedicated factory in 2004. Today, every frame is handmade in the European Union, with over three tons of records transformed into eyewear and accessories each year, guided by a continued focus on creating distinctive pieces that speak for themselves.
