Honestly, this texture is just unfair.

A simple Wellington-style metal frame. Yet, how does it exude such a different aura?

The special "wabisabi" finish

What makes this frame special is its unique surface treatment, named "wabisabi." It's a plating that resembles rough metal, almost earthy. From there, it develops a rare aging process where it gains a luster the more it's used.

This finish goes in the opposite direction of typical plating. New, it's dull and somewhat rugged. But over time, it acquires a sheen.

Expression that changes with age

Comparing them like this, the difference in impression is obvious. It's interesting how each piece develops a unique "flavor," much like vintage accessories.

The presence of the lenses completes this frame

The lightly tinted brown-gray gradient lenses. They don't overstate themselves, yet they add an alluring charm to the frame. Because they aren't too dark, the overall texture stands out.

Two sizes to choose from

Available in two sizes, 45 and 47. They fit both those who want a small, classic look and those who prefer a larger, relaxed feel. It's great to be able to choose according to your face width and desired vibe.

For those who aren't satisfied with "just simple"

It's neither flashy nor eccentric. But with its texture and presence, it makes you think, "This is different." This is one such piece.

The balance of the lenses, frame, and finish is exquisite. We encourage you to hold it in your hands, in the light, and observe it closely.

It will develop its own unique character over time.
