The "MIZ DIALOGUE" project began in 2020 with the aspiration of fostering a lasting relationship between users and their eyewear. Mr. Junichi Tashiro, shop manager of "Blink Gaienmae" and "Blink Base," serves as the brand director.
The brand's concept is "evolution over time." Based on four core models—Panto, Wellington, Oval, and Round—the frames feature customizable parts and the ability to be repainted in original colors, repeatedly. Beta titanium, known for its biocompatibility and ease of reprocessing, is used for the frame material.
After purchase, users can request customization through "Blink Gaienmae" or "Blink Base" if they desire a change in their frames. Produced by "Mishima Eyewear," which once crafted glasses favored by royalty and boasts world-leading quality, the craftsmanship is impeccable. Sales began on Saturday, November 26th.
