About Mazamio

THE BRAND

Founded by an immigrant, it all started in NYC during the lockdown. I had just moved to the U.S. I didn’t know anyone, but I found an unexpected friendship in the building’s maintenance man. Every day, he’d look at my bold suits and say, “You look like a Wiseguy.”

As the lockdown stretched on, we got closer. One day, he confessed: he was a former member of one of the “Five Families.” If you know, you know. That’s when I asked him:

What exactly is a Wiseguy?

He smirked.

“A Wiseguy is someone who dresses and is perceived by ‘the system’ as one who belongs, when in reality, he’s part of something secret—something bigger. A family built on trust and loyalty, acknowledging a broken system and playing by its rules, yet thriving by their own terms and decisions.”

That’s the essence of MAZAMIO. We pride ourselves in giving you a distinct silhouette and aesthetic that will allow you to cruise “the system” in whatever way you like—while knowing, deep down, where you are going.

Mazamio is created for those who dare. We are here to remind you that you have the most powerful weapon: yourself.

The core of our designs is rooted in the concept of Retro-Futurism, exploring the tension between past and future. We imagine a multiplanetary world where we dream of how amazing the future can be—how technology will help us better our lives and enhance our appreciation for beauty.

Mazamio exists to make the future look like the future.

We believe in an ethos where you will always be remembered through our silhouettes—because you dare.
You dare to be a dreamer in a world where everyone looks and feels the same.
You dare to make the future look like the future.

WHO MAKES IT & HOW WE MAKE IT
 
Our eyewear is crafted by experienced professionals in a work environment that enhances creativity, precision and overall flourishing. Comfortable workspace, access to natural light with wide windows and appropriate temperature are just some of the aspects that build this environment.
 
Each employee at the factory works 5 days a week from 9 to 6 with a 1-hour lunch break without including 10 minute breaks to clear the mind. Most of the employees live close to the factory which allows them to have a close commute.

ATTENTION TO DETAIL

Handcrafted with the finest custom Italian acetate, we specifically craft & hand polished each eyewear piece with an 6 to 8mm thickness in order to give “a feel” to every single piece you are wear, but most importantly a reminder that everything you need is your vision.
