KOHA Eyewear at Silmo 2025: A Stronger Identity, A Deeper Story

Silmo 2025 has officially come to a close, and for KOHA Eyewear, this edition marked a powerful new chapter. Returning to Paris one year after our debut at Silmo 2024, we arrived with more maturity, more confidence, and a collection that carries our identity with even greater clarity.

This second participation was not just a continuation — it was a confirmation of who we are becoming.

A Year of Growth Since Silmo 2024

Our first appearance at Silmo in 2024 opened the doors to the international optics world. It taught us, inspired us, and pushed us to refine every detail of KOHA Eyewear.

Coming back this year, we felt the difference immediately.

Visitors remembered our story. They remembered our symbolism, our craftsmanship, and our dedication to creating meaningful eyewear. Many who discovered KOHA Eyewear in 2024 returned in 2025 specifically to see how we had evolved — and that is one of the most rewarding signs of growth for a young brand.

Silmo 2025: The Reaction to Our New Collection

At Silmo 2025, we introduced a refined and expanded KOHA Eyewear collection — one that deepens our visual language and further highlights the balance between Albanian heritage and Japanese handmade production.

Visitors responded strongly to:
• Our distinctive design identity, now more recognizable and cohesive
• The craftsmanship behind each piece, shaped by meticulous Japanese ateliers
• Our storytelling, rooted in symbolism, memory, and cultural depth
• Our independent spirit, appreciated by retailers seeking authenticity

This year, conversations were longer, interest was stronger, and the connections felt more meaningful. It was clear that the foundation we built in 2024 had grown into something solid.

What Silmo 2025 Meant for KOHA Eyewear

Participating again reaffirmed our mission:
KOHA Eyewear exists to create timeless eyewear shaped by culture, precision, and purpose.

Silmo 2025 allowed us to:
• Strengthen partnerships established last year
• Reach new international buyers discovering KOHA Eyewear for the first time
• Present a more mature brand identity
• Test new ideas and design directions that will guide our next steps

This edition helped us see our progress with clarity. KOHA Eyewear is no longer “the newcomer” — we are a young brand with a growing voice.

Looking Ahead: What Comes After Silmo 2025

The inspiration we take from this edition will guide our next chapters — from new product development to expanding our presence globally. The feedback, conversations, and interest we received in Paris have already become part of our roadmap for 2026.

As always, KOHA Eyewear continues to grow with patience, intention, and respect for craftsmanship.

Thank You, Silmo

Silmo 2025 reminded us why this fair is such an essential meeting point for creators, artisans, and industry leaders. We are grateful for every visitor who stopped by, every conversation shared, and every connection made.

KOHA Eyewear leaves Silmo 2025 stronger, more inspired, and more determined than ever.
