We are excited to announce that we will begin carrying a new brand.
An eyewear brand based in Ibiza, Spain

“CAPOTE”

At first glance, they are distinctive.
But they are not simply designed to be eccentric.
From the structure and materials to the balance when worn,
this eyewear pushes both design and functionality to their limits.

CAPOTE was founded in 2016 by Venezuelan designer Alex Capote.
Drawing on the sensibilities cultivated through travels around the world and exposure to various cultures such as art, film, theater, and design, as well as the free and diverse atmosphere of Ibiza,
these elements are woven into CAPOTE’s designs.

The brand holds the belief that
“eyewear is a simple language for expressing individuality.”

That is why CAPOTE eyewear is not simply “glasses with an interesting shape.”
What someone chooses and how they wear it—
it feels as though even these elements are considered part of the design.

What is particularly interesting about CAPOTE is how it showcases the structure itself as design.
The “Paper Clip Collection,” which joined the lineup this season, is a prime example.

True to its name, the structure is inspired by the everyday paper clip.

It features a temple design that looks like bent thin metal wire, translating the minimalist structure of a paper clip into eyewear.

What is interesting is that this is not merely decorative.
While the structure itself serves as design, it also provides functionality.

Furthermore, the front combines a double inner rim, giving classic shapes a sense of depth.

There are also many other structures rarely seen in conventional eyewear, such as metal double rims and models with side shields.

Rather than prioritizing design alone, the brand incorporates Japan’s advanced manufacturing techniques to pursue precision processing and a perfect fit.
The brand officially states that harmonizing design, craftsmanship, and comfort is one of its core principles.

Prices start from ¥85,800 including tax.

Considering the complexity of the designs and the attention to detail, the relatively affordable price range is also appealing.
For our store, which has carried many classic eyewear brands, CAPOTE is quite refreshing.
It is a brand that makes us think about “what makes good eyewear” from a different perspective than vintage and classic-based glasses.

Rather than simply choosing something unusual,

CAPOTE eyewear should offer a slightly different perspective on choosing glasses.

We encourage you to pick them up and experience the structure and fit for yourself.
