Mykita
Mykita is industrial design you can wear: featherweight stainless steel and its own 3D-printed MYLON, held by a patented screwless spiral hinge.
Made by hand in the MYKITA HAUS in Berlin with a low-waste, closed-loop process — light, resilient, repairable, and unmistakable once you know it.
Where can I buy Mykita in South Africa?
Mykita is stocked at OPTIK, Shop SL24, Melrose Arch, Johannesburg — next door to Woolworths. Optik is a proudly authorised Mykita stockist, with every frame sourced directly from the house or its authorised distributor. Come in to try them on, or enquire on WhatsApp and we'll help you find the right pair.
Can I put my prescription in Mykita frames?
Yes — Mykita optical frames take a prescription. Optik partners with trusted specialist optical laboratories for lens manufacturing, while our team manages the measurements, lens selection, frame assessment and final quality check.
Why are Mykita frames so light?
The steel collections are folded from 0.5 mm stainless steel and held by a screwless spiral hinge, with no welds or screws to add weight — the lightest weigh around 12 grams.
What is MYLON?
MYLON is Mykita's own award-winning 3D-printed material — an ultra-light, resilient polyamide used for frames that would be hard to make any other way.
Can Mykita frames be repaired and adjusted?
Their screwless construction is built to be serviced rather than thrown away. We adjust and service them in person at OPTIK, and help arrange anything that needs brand parts.
How much do Mykita frames cost in South Africa?
Prices are displayed alongside every frame at OPTIK, in rands, the way a stockist should — no guesswork. Each collection sits at its own level, so the honest answer depends on the model and material. Enquire on WhatsApp (062 787 5749) with the frame you have in mind and we will confirm the current price, or come and see the wall labels in person at Melrose Arch.
Does OPTIK stock Mykita sunglasses as well as optical frames?
Yes — both. The same folded stainless steel and screwless hinge carry across Mykita's sun collections, and several optical models take prescription sun lenses through the laboratories we partner with. The selection on the shelf changes with each delivery, so ask on WhatsApp about a specific model or come and see what is in.
Can I try Mykita frames on in Johannesburg?
Yes — at OPTIK, Shop SL24 at Melrose Arch, next door to Woolworths. A frame this light is the one thing a photograph cannot show you; you have to feel the twelve grams on your own nose. Our team fits and adjusts each frame in person, and an eye test can be booked for the same visit.
Is OPTIK an authorised Mykita stockist?
Yes. OPTIK is an authorised Mykita stockist, and every frame in The Collection comes directly from the house or its authorised distributor. That matters with a frame this precisely made: fitting, adjustment and any servicing happen in person at Melrose Arch, by a team that handles Mykita every day.
MYKITA IS STOCKED AT OPTIK, MELROSE ARCH, JOHANNESBURG.
FITTINGS AND ADJUSTMENTS HAPPEN IN PERSON — THAT PART WE NEVER PUT ONLINE.
