Chaque monture Archibald est individuellement fabriquée à la main au Japon par des maîtres artisans Takumi, chacun possédant plus de 30 ans d'expérience dans le perfectionnement de leur processus. Plus de 200 opérations manuelles sont réalisées dans 16 ateliers différents selon un procédé unique de type corporatif de six semaines, conçu pour garantir que nous ne fournissons que des montures de la plus haute qualité.

L’acétate japonais premium nous permet de créer des lunettes parmi les plus flexibles et durables au monde.

Approvisionné auprès du célèbre fournisseur japonais Takiron Rowland, chaque paire est taillée dans une seule feuille d’acétate afin de garantir une cohérence de couleur, de toucher et de poids. Chaque monture subit ensuite un processus de polissage rigoureux pour obtenir un éclat magnifique. Archibald London London Meets Fukui par A. Tudela (05/01/2016), The New York Times.

Material

Alors, qu'est-ce que tout cela signifie vraiment ? La qualité est un mot facile à employer, mais comment peut-on la juger ?

Nous avons entrepris de créer les plus belles lunettes au monde, celles qui sont habituellement inaccessibles, la paire que les opticiens vendent à 975 $ avec des verres équivalents ! La longévité, la résistance aux forces et la solidité sont nos critères. En cas d'incident, l'acétate japonais peut facilement être remis en forme. Ce ne sont pas des lunettes de mauvaise qualité. Elles sont faites pour durer, pour vous accompagner et vous soutenir à travers toutes les aventures de la vie.

Product Material

Premium Japanese acetate allows us to create some of the most flexible and durable eyewear in the world.

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. Archibald London London Meets Fukui by A. Tudela (05/01/2016), The New York Times.

So what does it all mean, really? Quality is an easy word to throw around but how can it all be judged?

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.
