How We Craft Our Eyewear – Handmade & Classic

Discover how Maison Mata crafts unique handmade glasses, from initial sketch to final touch, in our Canggu workshop and factory.

Behind the Craft

Design

Each model is imagined and sketched in our boutique workshop in Bali. Once finalized, we select Mazzucchelli acetate sheets and match them with the perfect lens tint.

Handmade in Canggu

Handmade in Canggu

Entirely handcrafted in our boutique workshop in Bali, each frame goes through a slow and precise process: 80 steps over 15 days, carried out by 3 artisans. Every acetate sheet is cut, shaped, bent, and polished by hand, then reinforced with metal cores inserted and sealed with heat. The polishing involves ten manual steps to bring out the full shine of the material. As a final touch, the name is engraved and hand-painted in the boutique.

Classic

For this collection, we produce limited quantities of timeless frames, easy to wear and built to last. Crafted from natural materials and premium components, our glasses are manufactured through three production channels: in Italy, Germany and China, in collaboration with renowned suppliers such as Mazzucchelli, Jinyu and Jimei.

Classic
Packaging

Packaging

Our cases and pouches are handcrafted in collaboration with local artisans. The leather cases are made in Kerobokan, the woven pandanus cases in Yogyakarta, Java, and our fabric pouches are sewn in Seminyak, Bali.

Assembly in our Canggu boutique

Each frame is first scanned for a precise lens cut. The lenses are then centered, their power verified, and tailored to the frame under the supervision of our optometrist. Final assembly and adjustments are completed directly in-store.

Manual Quality Control

Manual Quality Control

Each frame undergoes a rigorous 20-point inspection, from fit to finish. Our team refines the polish if needed, while a second technician independently checks the lenses for power and alignment. Once all steps are approved, the glasses are ready.
