Homage To The Inuit Tradition

Our Italian hand-made Inuit. Goggles are a contemporary homage to an enduring Inuit tradition. Crafted with the spirit of innovation, these goggles are a modern interpretation of the ancient Inuit eyewear known as ilgaak (ᐃᓪᒑᒃ) in Inuktitut and Nigaugek in Central Yupik, used for centuries by the indigenous peoples of the Arctic to protect against the blinding glare of the sun on snow.

Our goggles are designed and made in Italy with a deep respect for this heritage, merging the timeless wisdom of Inuit craftsmanship with cutting-edge 3D printing technology. The result is a durable, lightweight frame that carries the essence of Inuit ingenuity into the present day. The wide slit design offers good protection and visibility.

The Inuit. Goggles Project

Inspired by the enduring legacy of the Arctic's indigenous cultures, the Inuit Goggles Project celebrates the innovative design and cultural significance of traditional Inuit eyewear. Originating from a need to protect against the harsh glare of snow and ice, these goggles have been crafted for centuries using natural materials, embodying resilience and adaptation. Our project aims to bridge the gap between ancient wisdom and contemporary fashion, bringing the spirit and stories of the Inuit people to a global audience through our meticulously designed sunglasses.
