The brand „Klammeraffe“ has its roots in Germany, specifically in a small town near Munich.

It was founded by the company „New’s Optic Inh. Pamela Langer“, a family run business since 2005, specialized in the wholesale of ready-made reading glasses.

While regular glasses already established themselves as a statement piece that allowed everyone to express their personality and style, one type of glasses was conspicuously absent: ready-made reading glasses.

They knew that reading glasses also deserved to be fashionable!

Their mission: to give classic reading glasses a new lease of life with modern designs, a variety of colors, high-quality workmanship and a smart functionality

Klammeraffe (= Our glasses are named after a species of monkey known for its long arms. These enable the monkeys to hang on effortlessly anywhere.)

Thanks to the longer curved arms, Klammeraffe glasses can be comfortably hung around the neck when not in use.

Say goodbye to old-fashioned glasses chains!

And because good design inspires enthusiasm, the "Klammeraffe family" has also grown over the past few years.

10+ different models and over 40 different colors. But that's not all! No matter what age or style, there is a Klammeraffe for everyone!

Whether in the USA, South Africa, Spain, the Netherlands, Switzerland, or many other countries, Klammeraffe glasses have found many fans all over the world!
