From Mother’s Day Gift to Bestselling Frame: The Story Behind Sofia

Mother’s Day is a celebration of the women who raised us, nurtured us, and shaped who we are today. For Vicci Eyewear founder David A., honoring his mother turned into something even bigger than he could have imagined — it sparked the creation of one of our most beloved frames.

It started with a simple intention.

David wanted to design a pair of glasses that his 80-year-old mom would love.

Something that would make her feel stylish, confident, and elegant — just like she had always made him feel growing up. He wanted her frames to be more than just functional; he wanted them to be a reflection of her spirit.

That design became the Sofia frame.

A timeless, fashion-forward style that blends sophistication with everyday ease.

Today, it's one of our top picks for anyone looking to buy designer prescription glasses. 

At first, David thought he was simply fulfilling a request from his mom, who often mentioned how hard it was to find glasses that didn’t feel "too old" or "too boring."

What he didn’t expect was what happened next.

One evening, while out to dinner with his family, David witnessed it firsthand.

A woman — a complete stranger — approached their table, leaned in politely, and said to his mom:

"Excuse me, I just have to say... I absolutely love your glasses. Where did you get them?"

David was stunned. It was one thing for his mom to say she got compliments; it was another to see it happen in real life.

That night, something clicked: the Sofia frame wasn’t just eyewear.

It was a conversation starter. A confidence booster. A compliment magnet.

Since then, the Sofia frame has become a Vicci customer favorite — especially among women searching for designer prescription glasses that offer a balance of fashion and function.

This Mother’s Day, we celebrate that beautiful connection.

The simple yet powerful idea that what you wear should lift you up — at any age, at any stage of life.

Whether you're shopping for the woman who’s been your biggest supporter, or treating yourself to a pair of designer glasses that make you feel unstoppable, the Sofia frame is a reminder that style and self-confidence have no expiration date.

From our founder’s family to yours,

Happy Mother’s Day from all of us at Vicci Eyewear!
