Talla SOUTH

The South frame is a bold yet balanced design, defined by its softly squared silhouette and generous proportions. The warm translucent acetate adds depth and richness, highlighting the frame’s sculptural form while maintaining a refined elegance. Clean lines and subtle detailing give South a confident presence, while the rounded edges soften the structure for everyday wearability. Timeless and expressive, South is designed for those who appreciate eyewear with character, craftsmanship, and understated masculine strength.

He owes his sense of precision and attention to detail to this mother who was a haute couture seamstress. In 2004, he met Caroline Abram, and moved to Paris for love. After collaborating on the development of Caroline Abram's designer eyewear brand, he launched TALLA in 2016. Gianluca has devoted his brand as the ultimate accessory of masculine elegance for men.
