HUG SPECTACLES

Timeless and unique design crafted from the best materials and components, fairly and sustainably, not popular but with substance. A new meaning for luxury eyewear.

 

About

 

HUG SPECTACLES was founded in 2020 by Thomas Hobmaier, Frederic Utz, and Jochen Gutbrod. All three founders have over 20 years of experience in the business. It is a luxury brand made from the best materials and components in a fair and sustainable way.

The Blues Collection pays homage to the blues legends of the Mississippi Delta. The unique tenacity and intensity they brought to their music is the cornerstone of today's popular music. Their music was stripped down to the bare essentials, allowing the raw emotion to shine through.

HUG SPECTACLES aim to embody the essentials with nothing but a ragged guitar and a voice driven by passion. This is how they want their glasses to be – nothing fancy, but timeless and unique. Their focus is not on fashion or popularity, but on substance.

The name "HUG" comes from the initials of the founders' surnames - Hobmaier, Utz, and Gutbrod. It symbolizes a hug, just like what it says.



 

Every pair of HUG eyewear is crafted using cutting-edge technology and over 100 manual steps. The manufacturer's family has passed down a wealth of knowledge through generations.

These eyeglasses are made by genuine craftsmanship in Germany. They are produced fairly and sustainably.

HUG leather goods

HUG cases are made in certified artisan workshops in India that carry on their old tradition of leather processing.

The leather is exclusively vegetable-tanned without harmful substances, and the workshops guarantee outstanding working conditions and fair wages.

It is a valuable and fair product that only gets more beautiful with age and use.
