What colour is that hoody listed as? It looks terrific. There's a few red variations going around. It's not numbered or stamped is it?

Thanks for sharing, based on that article I finally found where Hiroki gets his sunglasses (They were different than the DITA iteration made for visvim). It's a small French brand called Maison Bonnet. Frames start around 2k USD and are either made to measure based on pre-selected configurations, or they offer a bespoke experience which runs more. Considering I can't even keep track of my cheaper lenses much less my visvim frames, I'll have to pass lol

I had the privilege of buying a ready made pair from the atelier in 2019. They literally shaped the bridge to my crooked nose, and explained the whole process as they were doing it. The frames are beautiful, but more importantly they are very nice people.

Considering people regularly pay around $500 or more for non MTM/Bespoke frames, I wonder if $2k is really that crazy. I have a terrible time finding frames that fit my oddly shaped head.

They have a signature frame for him, which I assume you can get made to measure

I don't think its insane, but I have a hard time keeping track of sunglasses, and often drop them or get damaged. It's a tough sell for beaters, thats for sure.

When your frames are made like this, you’ll hold onto them! Mine are always on my face ?
