In Jet Black, the single sheet of Japanese acetate from Takiron Rowland is a deep, glossy black that gives the round silhouette a clean, defined presence without overwhelming a smaller face. It is the most assertive of the Clive colourways — and still quietly so. The Clive is a circular frame with a curved bridge, suited to those with smaller features. Handcrafted in Sabae, Fukui, Japan, by Takumi master craftsmen — each with over 30 years of experience — every frame is cut from a single sheet of Japanese acetate sourced from Takiron Rowland. Over 200 manual processes across six weeks produce a frame with the flexibility and durability that acetate is known for. Slimmer temples keep the profile subtle.
