ILLESTEVA was founded in 2009 in response to what designers Daniel Silberman and Justin Salguero felt was a need for classic eyewear with a downtown New York aesthetic. Since its inception, the ILLESTEVA brand has expanded to include umbrellas, backpacks and handbags. Handcrafted from the highest quality materials, all of ILLESTEVA’s products are manufactured by the world’s leading family-run factories throughout Italy, France and Germany. The designers remain focused first and foremost on pushing traditional boundaries of design by exploring fresh shapes and unexpected motifs. A 2012 CFDA/Vogue Fashion Fund Finalist, ILLESTEVA creates timeless pieces meant to inspire, captivate and last a lifetime.
