Designed in collaboration with the Leica design studio in Munich and handcrafted at the MYKITA HAUS in Berlin, the MYKITA|LEICA collection is defined by its reduced, functional design focused on superior performance. Seamless mechanical solutions and material connections echo the beautiful precision engineering of Leica’s unmistakeable design and create a refined eyewear aesthetic.

The debut collection consists of two design series: a pure stainless steel concept and a line of hybrid frames that combine handcrafted stainless steel with MYLON, a material innovation from MYKITA made using 3D printing technology.


The MYKITA|LEICA collection uses Leica Eyecare sun lenses with an unprecedented optical quality. Pioneered by MYKITA and Leica, the organic 1.6 index lenses are individually ground and polished from a cast lens blank in a process normally reserved for prescription lenses.

The MYKITA | LEICA collection will be available from June 2020 in MYKITA Shops and selected Leica Stores, as well as online through mykita.com and leica-camera.com.
