CUSTOMEYES to Open First Global Atelier at Eyes On Sheppard in Toronto

CUSTOMEYES, the luxury eyewear customization platform created by MIO Group (Manifattura Italiana Occhiali), is set to launch in Canada with the opening of the world’s first Atelier Customeyes at Eyes On Sheppard in Toronto on April 10, 2026.

According to the company, CUSTOMEYES is the first luxury eyewear brand built around painted acetate as a defining product signature. Each frame is made from premium Japanese acetate and hand-painted by Italian artisans, with the brand positioning the process as a way to bring added depth, colour nuance, and finish to the final product.

The collection also incorporates custom CNC-milled hinges machined from solid metal, exclusive internal cores, and a proprietary finishing library that allows for more than one million possible combinations of finishes, treatments, and aesthetic configurations.

In a statement, Giovanni Accongiagioco, founder of MIO Group, said CUSTOMEYES was created to bring a luxury concept to eyewear by turning the purchase process into a creative experience without compromising craftsmanship or precision. He added that Eyes On Sheppard was a natural fit for the first Atelier, citing its expertise, product culture, and customer care.

Dr. Kerry Salsberg, owner of Eyes On Sheppard, said the concept aligns with what many clients are seeking in the premium category: authentic luxury, strong materials, attention to detail, and a more personal result. He noted that the hand-painted Italian craftsmanship helps elevate customization into something tangible and distinctive.

The Atelier Customeyes will officially open on April 10, 2026, at Eyes On Sheppard, located at 90 Sheppard Avenue East in Toronto.
