Story and Legacy

MEOW “Purple Rain” — EDITION OF 20

Wearable Sculpture · Micro Edition · Edition of 20

MEOW “Purple Rain” reimagines elegance through feline instinct, movement and playful sophistication. Its sculptural silhouette draws inspiration from the poise and agility of the cat kingdom, translating organic curves into a confident piece of wearable sculpture.

The Purple Rain colorway brings a vibrant expression to the MEOW form while preserving the collection’s balance of curiosity and refinement. Expressive contours give the frame a sense of movement, allowing the distinctive feline-inspired architecture to remain at the center of the design.

Conceived in Miami and handcrafted in Italy from sustainable cellulose acetate with Carl Zeiss lenses, MEOW “Purple Rain” was produced as a micro edition of only 20 pieces worldwide. The edition also supported Pawsitive Beings, a nonprofit dedicated to animal rescue, connecting the collection’s feline inspiration with a broader commitment to animal welfare.
