Launched in 2016 in São Paulo, dreamed and designed by Gustavo and Gisela Assis, Lapima’s collections are made with the best acetate from Italy, lenses from France, and flex hinges from Germany and finally crafted with the same attention to quality by artisans in Campinas, Brazil.

Gustavo and Gisela’s vision was to create evergreen products that could add style to the person who wears it, as well as sculptures playing with luminosity, beauty, and lightness. Their fashionable line inspired by the exuberance and fluidity of brazilian natural elements brings a sense of freedom and peace by using elemental surfaces and vivid colors.

 The brand’s name, Lapima means “la em cima” in Portuguese, which translates to “up there” in English. So let yourself reach luminous clouds, green forests an crystalline water with our selection of the best shapes and colors from the uplifting and bold Brazilian brand.
