Emporio Armani Spectacle Frames: The Brand at a Glance
According to West London Living’s history of Emporio Armani glasses, the Emporio Armani line launched in 1981 as a younger, more accessible label from Giorgio Armani. Its eyewear followed the Giorgio Armani eyewear debut of 1988, and the glasses are made by EssilorLuxottica. The table shows how the two Armani eyewear lines compare.
| Feature | Emporio Armani | Giorgio Armani |
|---|---|---|
| Launched | 1981 (fashion line) | 1975 (fashion house) |
| Style | Youthful, urban, experimental | Refined, understated, formal |
| Signature detail | Eagle logo on the temples | Discreet lettering |
| Price position | More accessible | Higher luxury pricing |
| Maker | EssilorLuxottica | EssilorLuxottica |
Frame Styles and Materials
The range covers most everyday shapes, so there is usually a style for every face and job.
- Rectangular acetate: the classic office frame, often in black, grey or Havana tortoiseshell.
- Round and panto: softer shapes with a slightly retro feel.
- Thin metal: light frames with a minimal look, ideal for all-day wear.
- Combination frames: metal and acetate together for a modern, layered look.
Armani’s own Fall Winter 2026/27 eyewear page highlights bio-acetate frames in Havana shades for men and sleek metal frames with colourful enamel accents for women.
Emporio Armani Eyeglasses Price in India
Prices vary by model, size and material. Indian optical retailer listings put Emporio Armani eyeglass frames at roughly Rs 6,400 to Rs 21,000, with most styles between Rs 11,600 and Rs 13,400. Prescription lenses are extra, and the lens you choose can change the total a great deal. Treat these as reported figures and confirm the price of your exact pair with our team.

How to Buy Emporio Armani Spectacle Frames
Follow three steps. First, get an up-to-date eye test, because the lens matters as much as the frame. Second, try frames in person to check width, bridge and temple length. Third, buy from an authorised seller and keep your invoice. Our designer frames collection is a good place to build a shortlist first.
What Most People Overlook
We have found that buyers spend time choosing the frame and very little choosing the lens. A thin, light frame can feel heavy if the lens is thick, so ask about high-index or anti-reflective options for higher powers. Customers most often ask us whether Emporio Armani is the same as Giorgio Armani. It is not. Both belong to the Armani Group, but Emporio is the younger, more accessible line. Remember too that the eagle logo, model code and size printed inside the temple help confirm a genuine pair.
