Originally from Venezuela, Capote founder Alex Capote built a chemistry with the island of Ibiza in 2007 and never quite left. Years of nourishing his passion for cinema, theater, and design — combined with travels around the globe — produced a crisp, multicultural sensibility that became the through-line of his work. Capote Eyewear, founded in 2016, is the union of his two leading passions: design and responsible craftsmanship.
The studio harmonizes savoir-faire with up-front design — subtle straight lines and audacious curves combining to create meticulous, deliberately disruptive styles. Each frame is built around the idea that eyewear is a straightforward language for underlining one's uniqueness. More than a frame: a recognizable look, with infinite possibilities and no standard scenario.
