Matsuda Round-Frame Sunglasses

At a glance, Matsuda’s sunglasses are undeniably contemporary, perhaps even futuristic, but to fully understand their trajectory, we must travel through time to Sabae Japan, where five decades of artistic exploration yielded the designs of today – each pair isstill crafted by hand, with the 250 steps taking up to two years. Hailing from the Heritage collection, this topsy-turvy pair employs razor-thin frames that make the lenses appear as though they’re floating in space, while a metal bar curves beneath for an architectural touch inspired by the 1800s pince-nez silhouette.
