Your Selection










The Jackie in matte black with green polarized lenses — one of the largest frames in the collection, shaped by subtly sharp angles and curved accents that suit oval and heart-shaped faces. The matte black acetate keeps the profile clean and understated, while the green polarized lenses sharpen contrast in bright conditions without shifting natural colour balance. Handcrafted in Sabae, Japan, over six weeks and more than 200 manual processes, with a Japanese 7-barrel hinge and blue-coated screws. Fitted with 1.5 high-index polarized lenses for sharper optics in a thinner, lighter build.

Sourced from famed Japanese supplier Takiron Rowland, every pair is cut from a single sheet of acetate to ensure consistency in colour, feel and weight. Each frame then undergoes a rigorous polishing process to achieve a beautiful sheen.

We set out to make the finest eyewear in the world, the one that is usually unreachable, the pair the opticians sell for $975 with equivalent lenses! Longevity, resistance to force and strength are our metrics. In case of incident the Japanese acetate can be easily bent back into form. This isn't the poor quality These are made to last, to accompany you and to support you through all life’s adventures.
