Elva – Handcrafted Buffalo Horn Frame
Elva is a lightweight buffalo horn frame that blends a refined P3 shape with natural amber striations. Master artisans carve each piece by hand, then finish it to your preferred horn tone and lens type—clear, sun, or photochromic. The result is enduring comfort and unmistakable character.
Description
Elva – Handcrafted Buffalo Horn Frame is our modern take on a classic P3 silhouette. Sculpted entirely from ethically sourced buffalo horn, each frame reveals mellow amber streaks that deepen toward the brow line, ensuring that no two pairs are ever identical. Moreover, horn is a living material that warms to your skin, resists sweat, and—when properly cared for—can last a lifetime while developing a graceful patina.

Why Natural Horn Outperforms Acetate
Because horn is composed of lightweight keratin, it delivers remarkable strength-to-weight performance and all-day comfort.

Furthermore, our Why Horn? page https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/abs/pii/S235249282401376X explains how horn stays cool against the skin even in warm climates.
Finishing & Lens Options
Our atelier can polish Elva in a spectrum of horn tones—from honey blondes to espresso charcoals—and fit clear prescription optics, gradient sun lenses, or photochromic lenses. Stainless-steel nose-pad mounts and spring hinges add strength, while leather-sheathed temple tips ensure day-long ease.
Styling Notes
Elva’s sculpted keyhole bridge and softly faceted eye rims lend intellectual charm without excess bulk. Consequently, the frame harmonises with smart tailoring or off-duty denim. Because its weight is barely half that of comparable acetate models, it virtually disappears on the face.
