Since 1938 the pursuit of exquisite craftsmanship and a passion for innovation have defined Tura as a fashion leader. Monroe Levoy’s inspired vision of eyewear as fashion gave rise to a series of industry milestones, including an exclusive partnership with Vogue magazine and the industry’s first designer brand license with Christian Dior. Designed to enhance a woman’s beauty, Tura frames have always provided new reasons for a woman to include them in her essential accessories wardrobe. This ground breaking fashion philosophy set the fashion eyewear industry in motion in the mid-20th century and solidified Tura’s ongoing reputation as a true fashion innovator.
