Since 1954, Nannini has been designing practical, stylish eyewear that combines exceptional functionality with timeless Italian design.

Every genuine Nannini product is designed with the attention to detail that has made Italian manufacturing respected worldwide. Clean lines, elegant styling, premium materials, and meticulous craftsmanship come together to create reading glasses that are both beautiful and practical.

Unlike many mass-produced budget readers, Nannini focuses on producing eyewear that feels comfortable to wear, looks sophisticated, and stands the test of time.

Inventors of the Modern Folding Reading Glasses

Nannini is recognised as one of the pioneers of folding reading glasses. Their innovative folding mechanism allows a full-size pair of reading glasses to collapse into an incredibly compact protective case without sacrificing comfort or optical performance.

This ingenious design means your reading glasses can easily fit into:

  • A shirt or jacket pocket
  • A handbag or clutch
  • A briefcase or laptop bag
  • A travel organiser
  • A glovebox or centre console

Because they're so easy to carry, they're always close at hand whenever you need them.

Premium Optical Quality

The most important part of any pair of reading glasses is the lenses.

Nannini uses high-quality optical lenses designed to deliver sharp, distortion-free vision for everyday reading tasks. Whether you're reading books, newspapers, menus, labels, smartphones, tablets or boarding passes, you'll enjoy crisp, comfortable vision that helps reduce eye strain.

Unlike many inexpensive reading glasses, premium optics provide consistent clarity across the lens, making prolonged reading more comfortable.

Built for Everyday Use

Folding reading glasses are opened and closed hundreds, sometimes thousands, of times during their lifetime.

That's why Nannini engineers every frame with durability in mind. Precision hinges, quality materials and carefully designed folding mechanisms ensure smooth operation and long-lasting reliability.

When folded away, the glasses are protected inside a compact hard case, helping prevent scratches and accidental damage while travelling or carrying them in your pocket.

Lightweight Comfort

Comfort is essential if you wear reading glasses several times each day.

Nannini frames are lightweight and ergonomically designed to sit comfortably on the face without unnecessary pressure. Their balanced design provides a secure fit while remaining comfortable for extended reading sessions.

Many customers find themselves reaching for their Nannini readers every day simply because they're so easy and comfortable to wear.

Perfect for Travel

Whether you're travelling overseas, commuting to work or simply heading out for dinner, carrying bulky reading glasses can be inconvenient.

Nannini folding reading glasses solve this problem beautifully. Their compact size makes them ideal for:

  • Business travel
  • Holidays and cruises
  • Air travel
  • Dining out
  • Shopping
  • Everyday commuting

With your reading glasses safely stored in their protective case, you'll always have clear vision when you need it.

Trusted by Riders Worldwide

While Nannini is renowned for its folding reading glasses, the company is equally respected for its premium motorcycle goggles. Designed for demanding riding conditions, these goggles have earned the trust of motorcyclists around the world for their durability, comfort, and optical performance.
