Big in Japan

When it comes to optical manufacturing, Japan is one of the world’s top manufacturing hotbeds for eyewear with only Italy and China ahead. These eyewear brands have their finger firmly on the fashion pulse and are keeping things interesting with inspiring, stylish products.

‘Pleats,’ Face a Face

A new palette inspired by Japanese craftsmanship permeates and enhances the curves of the models in the latest collection by Face a Face. Think turquoise to indigo blue, via yuzu green and magenta.

‘M3023-V2,’ Matsuda

The ‘M3023-V2’ is a reimagined aviator fashioned from a harmonious fusion of Japanese acetate and high-grade titanium with semi-flat sun lenses.

‘Pakobra’ Vasuma

Emphasising craftsmanship, Stockholm-based brand, Vasuma, offers a Japanese collection, manufactured with a small family business in Fukui.
