In Molasses, the Ayrton deepens into something richer — a dark Havana brown with a treacle-like depth that’s darker and more saturated than the standard Havana Brown. It brings a quiet sophistication to the bold curved silhouette, the kind of color that reveals its warmth slowly in different light.

The Ayrton is named after the legendary Brazilian racing driver Ayrton Senna. Bold and beautifully curved, this frame makes a statement — just as Senna did, on and off the track. Cut from a single sheet of premium Japanese acetate sourced from Takiron Rowland, each frame is handcrafted in Sabae, Japan by Takumi master craftsmen with over 30 years of experience. Over 200 manual processes across six weeks produce a frame of exceptional quality. Ships to the United States. Free returns.

From June 2022 onward, the Jet Black (JBK) color features kazari (metal ornaments) on the arms.
