Differentiation Strategy

Introduces a unique temple design, such as a custom metal inlay or a two-tone color block, to establish a distinct brand identity separate from Prada.

Offers a curated selection of custom acetate patterns and colors, including reimagined tortoiseshells, that are not available in the reference product's lineup.

Focuses on superior optical clarity by using CR-39 lenses, which offer a better visual experience than standard polycarbonate.

Provides polarization as an accessible add-on, offering a key performance feature to a broader market.

Success Replication

Uses high-quality acetate to replicate the premium feel, color depth, and durability of the reference product.

Preserves the fashionable and flattering narrow rectangular shape that is currently trending.

Incorporates a distinct and memorable design detail on the temples to create a 'signature' element, similar to how the reference product uses its iconic triangle.
