QUESO x SAMPLE: Eyewear with its own frequency
When two projects that understand culture from the inside out come together, the result can only be authentic. Madrid-based sunglasses brand SAMPLE and the QUESO party present a collaboration that fuses independent design and clubbing spirit. A limited-edition frame designed to accompany you in your daily life.
What they have created together is not just a pair of glasses. It’s an accessory for demanding times. A silent symbol that operates on the margin where select listening, purposeful design, and the desire to belong to a community that doesn’t need external validation because its own vibration is enough.
SAMPLE, an eyewear brand born and designed in Madrid, has earned the respect of those who understand that true luxury lies in the details: in ethical production, in the use of bio-acetates, in lenses with 100% UV protection, in the precise fit. Its universe isn’t strident, but it is deeply recognizable: a refined aesthetic that doesn’t shout, yet never goes unnoticed.
QUESO, for its part, is more than a party. It’s a liturgy for devotees of underground house where records outweigh algorithms and lineups are built with perfect pitch. Diggers, selectors, and collectors have turned this space into an open secret on the European circuit. Names like Tom Trago, Terrence Parker, Masalo, and Barbara Boeing have graced its booths.
The piece born from this collaboration embodies that spirit. A frame designed to withstand the transitions between the heat of the park, the intensity of the festival, or the darkness of the after-party. A design with volume, gesture, and an attitude that speaks without speaking. Like the best selector, it doesn’t seek likes: it seeks connection.
QUESO x SAMPLE glasses are the kind of piece that becomes a part of you. They’re not for posing, but for lasting. To look at the world from a different perspective: one that’s more refined, more curated, more honest.
Last Saturday, the collaboration was presented at a special event at @altered_bywecrave, the space that has already established itself as one of the hubs of Madrid culture. With selections curated by @unodogstres and the QUESO sound system, the atmosphere was faithful to the imagery both brands share: crate diggers talking about rare pressings, drinks in hand, lenses in place, music floating without excessive volume. The glasses were integrated into the bodies of those who already understand fashion as a consequence of lifestyle.
Only a few frames will be available, as befits a capsule that respects time, value, and the uniqueness of what is well done. It’s not exclusivity that’s sought, but coherence. QUESO x SAMPLE comes to occupy a specific place in the lives of those who know how to see things differently.
This collaboration isn’t a trend. It’s a fragment of the future woven from the present. A reminder that you can create from southern Europe with a global perspective. That the underground is still alive, and that its codes—when they are real—end up setting the pace for what’s to come.
