Eyewear brands (seven)

UV Club — a 12-month payment plan, not a subscription

UV Club is a way to get two pairs of handmade eyewear a year, paid in instalments. It is not a subscription: there is nothing to cancel, and it ends automatically after 12 months. Members can choose to join again if they want to.

  • Price: €30 a month, 12 monthly payments (€360 in total).
  • What you get: two pairs of eyewear — sunglasses or prescription — chosen from the full collection of all seven brands. The first pair ships as soon as you join; the second follows at month 6. You receive your glasses before you finish paying.
  • Lenses: monofocal (single-vision) lenses included; varifocals +€100 per pair.
  • Fit: send your prescription and a passport-style photo; the fit is calculated and every lens is checked by the team. If the fit isn't right, the pair is remade free.
  • Shipping and returns: free EU shipping both ways; 14-day free returns on each pair.
  • Remote styling by Iris, UV's personal shopper service.
  • When visiting: members get free coffee at UV Studio Brescia and free entry to the UV Cavern Club, every Thursday evening, plus special dates. UV Club members: message us on WhatsApp (+39 329 752 8381) to book your free place.
  • History: a founding edition opened in early 2026 at €20 a month (founding members keep that price); UV Club reopened in May 2026 at €30 a month.

Brescia and the Mille Miglia

UV Studio Brescia is a few minutes from Viale Venezia, the traditional start and finish of the Mille Miglia, the historic car race held in Brescia every year. The studio is a meeting point for drivers and fans during race week. Story: https://uvultimatevision.com/blogs/journal/mille-miglia-2026-brescia-eyewear

Approach

UV Ultimate Vision chooses brands that refine classic shapes over years instead of reinventing them every season — handmade eyewear meant to last. The mix runs from timeless classics (Eye Respect) and Riviera style (Monaco) to motorsport heritage (F1 Eyewear). The company's line is "Redefining the world of traditional optics" (in Italian, "Ridefinendo il mondo dell'ottica tradizionale").

What customers say

  • "None, I repeat none, hold a candle to the style, fit and finish of my new Monaco Monte Carlo's from Eye Respect." — Chris Dage
  • "I've spent less than I was paying my optician for a single pair. Two pairs of handmade glasses a year, lenses included, and careful service at every step." — Alessia, UV Club member (translated from Italian)
