THE RIGHT FACTORY
FOR THE RIGHT PROJECT.
From Made in Italy craftsmanship to selected international manufacturing, I define and manage the production route around the product, positioning, materials, quantities and target cost.
Factory selection / Development / ProductionPRODUCTION
BEGINS WITH
THE PRODUCT.
The right manufacturing partner is determined by what the frame needs to become and by the position it must occupy in the market.
I evaluate the product, brand, materials, complexity, volumes, timing and target cost before defining the most suitable production route. The result is a choice made around the project, supported by direct development and production management.

WHERE PRODUCT
AND PURPOSE ALIGN.
Made in Italy
For projects where craftsmanship, finish, material expression and premium brand value are central. The manufacturing partner is selected according to the frame, construction and level of detail required.
Selected international manufacturing
For projects requiring specific technologies, scalable volumes, target cost optimization or different production capabilities. Every partner is evaluated around quality, reliability and product requirements.
A COMPLETE
PRODUCTION PATH.
Product and brand brief
We define what the product must express, how it should perform and where it needs to sit in the market.
Factory selection
I identify the manufacturing route and partner that best match the materials, complexity, quantities and objectives.
Technical development
Drawings, components, dimensions, construction details and production feasibility are developed into a workable product.
Sampling and approval
Prototypes are reviewed for proportion, fit, finish, function and consistency with the original direction.
Production and quality
Production is followed through approvals and quality control, keeping product, timing and expectations aligned.
Market ready delivery
The finished eyewear is prepared to enter the brand ecosystem, from packaging and pricing to launch and retail.
BUILT THROUGH
REAL PRODUCTS.
I’m Alessandro Forte. Over more than 18 years in eyewear, I have worked directly across product, factories, production, international distribution and retail.
That experience allows me to evaluate a manufacturing partner through the complete life of a product: how it is developed, produced, positioned, sold and experienced by the customer.
PRODUCTION
QUESTIONS.
01Do you only work with Italian manufacturers?
No. Depending on the product, positioning, materials, quantities and target cost, I can work with Italian manufacturers or selected international production partners.
02Can you help me choose the right eyewear factory?
Yes. Factory selection is based on the complete project, including design, material, construction, volumes, timing, market and brand position.
03Can you manage prototypes and production?
Yes. The work can cover technical development, sampling, prototype approvals, production coordination and quality control through to final delivery.
04Which eyewear materials can you develop?
Projects can include acetate, metal and injected frames, with the production route selected according to the product and its technical requirements.
05Can I work with 3Y3 if I already have a design?
Yes. I can enter at different stages, from an early concept to an existing design that needs technical development, prototyping or production.
06Do you also support emerging brands?
Yes. I work with established brands, emerging designers and companies entering eyewear, structuring the path around the real needs of each project.
