You Mawo glasses & sunglasses in Harborne, Birmingham

YOU MAWO 3D printed glasses on display at Brittain Opticians in Harborne, Birmingham

Glasses that never pinch the bridge of your nose or slide down when you look at your phone. That is the everyday difference YOU MAWO makes. Every frame is individually 3D printed and shaped to the exact contours of your face, so it sits where it should and feels comfortable from the moment you put it on.

Designed and made in Germany since 2016, YOU MAWO pairs clever technology with real craftsmanship. Your frame begins with a quick scan of your face, then is printed from a lightweight polyamide that is up to 30 percent lighter than acetate. At around 14 grams, it is so light you can almost forget you have it on, whether you choose clear lenses or tinted ones for brighter days.

There is a thoughtful side too. Because each frame is printed only once you have ordered it, there are no shelves of unsold stock and very little waste. You get beautifully made eyewear and a more responsible way of making it.

How your YOU MAWO frames are made to fit you

Most glasses come in standard sizes and are then adjusted to suit you as best they can. YOU MAWO works the other way around and builds each frame around you from the very start. Here is how yours takes shape.

Designed around real faces

Every YOU MAWO design begins with the study of hundreds of real faces, so the shapes flatter and balance rather than simply perch on your nose. You get a frame with real character that still suits the way your face is made.

Scanned in seconds

A quick, comfortable scan captures the fine measurements of your face, from the width of your nose bridge to the angle of your temples. It is over in moments, yet it gives us everything we need to shape a frame that fits only you.

Tailored to you

Clever software then adapts the original design to your exact measurements without losing its style. So you keep the look you fell for, fitted to the millimetre for comfort that lasts all day.

Made in Germany

Your frame is then 3D printed and hand finished in Germany to an exacting standard. The advanced material is lighter and more hard wearing than acetate, so it is ready for everything from busy workdays to weekends away.

Why choose YOU MAWO at Brittain Opticians

A frame this personal deserves an equally personal fitting, and that is where we come in. With more than 80 years of combined experience here in Harborne, we take the time to understand your prescription, your lifestyle and the look you are after before we suggest a single frame.

We will help you choose a YOU MAWO style that flatters your features and suits your daily routine, then fit it with care so your vision is clear and your frames feel right from the first wear. Whether you are after everyday glasses, varifocals or prescription sunglasses for sunnier days, you are in safe hands.
