Akoni Eyewear could never be content with simply replicating what might already be on the market. Akoni’s designers are always inspired by iconic silhouettes but they aim for much more than some sort of copy/paste. And nothing makes them happier than to be able to design something that no one has ever seen before—that has all the elements necessary to stand the test of time—and is destined to become a new classic, like Ara. The bold acetate frame has been expertly sliced straight through by a sculptural side cup—creating a distinctive depth and intriguing embellishment on both sides, without any disturbance to the silhouette’s sleek flow. Handmade in Japan. Includes Akoni box, case, cleaning cloth, and 1-year manufacturer warranty.
