Luxury is changing. Where logos once defined status, today’s luxury consumer is looking for something quieter, more intentional, and rooted in real value. In the middle of this shift sits ORO Bespoke, a Dubai based luxury eyewear brand redefining how people think about what they wear and what it is worth.
Founded by sisters Meera Mohandas, Founder and Creative Director, and Minu Mohandas, co founder, ORO Bespoke specialises in handcrafted eyewear made from solid 18K gold. The brand brings together design, craftsmanship, and material value to create pieces that function as both fashion statements and long term assets.
At its core, ORO Bespoke challenges conventional ideas of luxury. “Luxury is about value, notvanity,” says Meera Mohandas, a philosophy that guides the brand’s creative direction and product development. Rather than relying on logos to communicate prestige, ORO focuses on material integrity and thoughtful design to let the product speak for itself.
Unlike most luxury eyewear, which is typically gold plated, ORO Bespoke frames are crafted from solid 18K gold. This distinction is central to the brand’s identity. Gold plating offers appearance, but little permanence. Solid gold carries intrinsic value and longevity, aligning eyewear with the same principles traditionally associated with fine jewellery and heirloom objects. Minu Mohandas adds, “We wanted eyewear to hold real value. Solid gold turns something you wear every day into something you invest in.”
The founders’ vision is shaped by both culture and experience. Raised in the Middle East with Indian roots, gold has always been understood as a symbol of security and enduring value rather than decoration alone. Combined with a background in the eyewear industry through their family’s long standing involvement in optical retail, this perspective led to a clear insight. Eyewear did not need to be disposable or trend driven. It could be functional, fashionable, and meaningful all at once.
ORO Bespoke designs are intended for everyday wear, whether as sunglasses or optical frames. The aesthetic is minimal and refined, reflecting a confidence that does not rely on overt branding. Each piece is designed with care and intention, emphasising individuality, craftsmanship, and longevity. The brand’s debut, the ORO Basics Co
The brand’s debut, the ORO Basics Collection, features a limited selection of designs produced in small quantities. Rather than mass production, ORO Bespoke focuses on controlled releases that prioritise quality and personal expression. Pieces from the collection can be made to order, and clients may enquire about customisation to ensure the right fit, proportion, and comfort. In eyewear designed to last for years, these details are essential.
Select ORO Bespoke pieces are available to view upon request at Eye Care Group locations across Dubai, offering clients the opportunity to experience the frames in person. Customisation enquiries can also be made directly through the brand. Notably, Indian musician Stephen Devassy has been seen wearing custom ORO Bespoke eyewear, reflecting the brand’s growing appeal among creatives who value individuality and substance.
As younger luxury consumers move away from trend led purchases and towards objects with lasting relevance, ORO Bespoke reflects a broader shift in mindset. It offers eyewear that holds value beyond aesthetics, combining design, culture, and material worth into a single, wearable form.
In a landscape where true luxury is increasingly defined by intention and substance, ORO Bespoke stands for pieces that are personal, enduring, and quietly confident.
