The Balmain Eyewear // Brigade III riffs on the distinctive 80s pop vibe that has been woven into the house’s most recent collections, adding striking octagonal lenses and striking temples. Repeated allusions to Pierre Balmain’s love of incorporating architectural codes into his designs will be quickly noted, such as the tactile metal patterns inspired by the strict mathematical precision behind the French Capital’s fascinating Haussmannian formulas. Akoni’s esign team has included several distinctive luxe touches as well, including the Brigade III’s unique side shield, which riffs on the rich, cracked leather patterns that Olivier Rousteing often incorporates into his Paris Fashion Week. Handmade in Japan. Includes Balmain box, hard case, soft case, cleaning cloth, and 1-year manufacturer warranty.
