Columba
This is as classic as it gets. “The Columba frame builds upon a timeless, West Coast style,” explains Solorio. “This is a look that we native Californians know well. It really epitomizes SoCal’s unique, easy-going, sun, surf, and convertible vibe which probably explains the long list of actors, athletes, and artists associated with this popular silhouette. John and I riffed on this classic style, giving it a modern update that opts for bolder, more substantial lines that feel very much of today.” Available in a larger size. Handmade in Japan. Includes Akoni box, case, cleaning cloth, and 1-year manufacturer warranty.
