SOUPCAN INSPIRATION
An Innovative Design with New Construction. While TAVAT’s Designer, Norm was visiting a friend in Arizona, who constructs and races planes, he noticed an old poster on a hangar wall, advertising a group of crop sprayers, back in the ‘30s, who got together on weekends to give airshows, calling themselves “The Flying Burritos”.
Seeing their crude goggles, Norm imagined that they were cut out of soup cans and immediately came up with the idea, which after a great deal of study resulted, not only in a completely new way of making frames, but also a surprisingly original collection meeting the current trends of weight and rounded eyes.

SOUPCAN HIGHLIGHTS
Handmade in Italy: Forget the traditional methods of manufacturing: TAVAT completely bypassed all of those norms and standards and sought out the true eyewear artisans to bring something revolutionary. Each frame is manufactured almost entirely by “coining” Alpacca and “dying” components, then completely assembled and finished by hand.

SOUPCAN MANUFACTURING
Eyewear crafted by artisans while incorporating modern materials and timeless design. Our creative heart is set in the hills of Pasadena, CA. while our skilled optical craftsmen create in the foothills of the Dolomites in Northern Italy.
