TAVAT seeks to evoke feelings of passion and thoughts of excellence, creativity, and extraordinary imagination. TAVAT is an independent company that pushes the limits of manufacturing, without wavering on its commitment to excellence in eyewear. The company designs their frames in California, but manufactures in the foothills of the Dolomite Mountains, where they produce handmade eyeglasses and sunglasses that tell a story and make a statement for themselves.
Jeremy Baines founded TAVAT in 2010, with a desire to create eyewear that takes no shortcuts and is forever reliable. His children continue to run the daily operations of the family-owned business, continuing the journey of creating eyewear that makes a statement for itself, no matter who is wearing them. The company strives to focus on the “TAVAT Touch” – a focus that seamlessly combines style and function with quality artisan work.
TAVAT excels at curating collections of eyewear that are not just stylish today, but that will remain iconic and identifiable for a lifetime. They believe that anything is possible, and that the old and the new can be reimagined and integrated seamlessly to create durable, stylish, and high-quality eyewear. To make your statement, to feel and to see extraordinary masterpieces in eyewear, look no further than TAVAT.

The Artisan Heritage
Northeast Italy has a rich history and tradition of creating eyewear that dates back to the 13th century, which has rightly earned it the honor of being known as the birthplace of eyewear. The beautiful location has become famous for its mastery of the craft due to its impeccable manufacturing techniques and talented artisans.
When crafting new designs, TAVAT draws inspiration from all sources, allowing creativity to flow from anyone at any time. Their frames are created with passion, with intention, and with attention to detail. Meshing modern designs with old-world craftsmanship and respect for tradition, while utilizing the best technology available, each piece of TAVAT eyewear becomes a true masterpiece.
Every TAVAT frame is produced in small batches in independent, family-owned factories. There is such a quality of workmanship that is only achieved through meticulous detail. Each pair of frames can take up to five months to complete, because every pair goes through more than one hundred handmade steps. TAVAT blends technical expertise, a unique artistic touch, and superior manufacturing into a unique process that results in a one-of-a-kind piece of handmade eyewear.
