Daniel Silberman was interested in design, photography and old movies from an early age. Finding it difficult to track down a pair of sunglasses that he liked as much as his first pair, a gift from his Grandfather. He decided to start Illesteva. With little background knowledge of eyewear and youthful eagerness, which both aided and created obstacles, he found a small factory in Italy who was willing to work with him and born was Illesteva.
