She really said “because I know you don’t have savings or health insurance anymore” with the money tree office warming gift 😂🫶🏼

I’ll take all the help I can get!! 💰🌳

I truly have the best friends, a whole village!! Giggling through these situations is so much fun. I couldn’t do any of this without you guys ❤️

Trying to embrace that whole “done is better than perfect” thing because Memorí’s first Summer Intern starts tomorrow!

P.S.
I was SO WRONG when I thought I could be in the office for 10 days and have a beautiful showroom while keeping the business afloat 😂😭

Sardegna. I am forever drenched in your beauty. Dowiak girls. I would travel to the moon with you. Cafe cremas. I genuinely believe I could drink 40 of you before physically collapsing. GOD ITALIANS DO IT RIGHT

She thought she was too 'busty' to wear layered necklaces... Margie changed that in seconds. ⁠

Almost that time of year 🍦

Where people constantly compliment your sunglasses 🕶️

And you say “Thanks! They’re Memories” on repeat 🔁

Pictured:
Limited edition, pierced gold hexagon sunglasses
18k gold plated hoop piercings
*Note* because we pierce through the lenses, this pair is NOT prescription compatible.

That’s what contacts are for!

Smoked Crystal Cat-Eyes

Limited batch of 40 pairs

Features gold leaf ghost stamping 🍂
(Internal detail designed to be seen from the outside)

100% Handmade In Italy

Polarized lenses available

Tip:
Translucent acetate (like this smoked crystal) has a low contrast between your skin and the frame. This means softer lines, better balance, and a silhouette that flatters more face shapes than a solid color ever could.

Fit:
•Extra Narrow & Narrow face shapes: Perfect fit!
•Medium face shape: Will fit, may need to adjust behind ear
•Wide face shape: Will not fit

Model: Narrow, oval face shape

Your favorite memories are likely from unplanned moments!

Hi! I’m Kari, I own Memorí - one of the few eyewear brands in the world that is truly 100% handmade in Italy and independently owned.

Our name, Memorí (me morí) literally translates to “I died” in Italian & Spanish.

The dream is that you make some of your life’s favorite memories through these lenses, and that every time you put them on for decades into the future, those feelings come rushing back to you 🫶🏼

Final photos will be ready in a few days. If you are ever in Rome and find yourself wanting some photos or cinematic videos, there’s no one better than @sam.visart and his company @vis_arts_ !!

Some of the best ideas start with noticing what everyone else ignores. ✨

Kari Dowiak saw a gap the giants overlooked: fit, craftsmanship, intention. After years inside Adidas and Levi’s, she didn’t chase trends… she built a solution.

Memorí Eyewear is proof that billion-dollar brands aren’t born from copying the market, but from caring about the details others skip: Italian handcrafting, conscious production, and design that finally fits.

Founder lesson: don’t compete louder. Compete smarter.
