Lowercase, founded by Gerard Masci in 2016, is known for its high-quality frames. The acquisition aims to preserve Lowercase’s unique approach while utilizing Modo’s manufacturing capabilities. Modo will maintain Lowercase’s quality and design, expanding the collection with its expertise. The acquisition was finalized in March, involving the transition of the brand and equipment to Modo’s headquarters and Brooklyn factory.Â
