The Smooth, Beautiful Texture of Celluloid Frames
For this pop-up fair at FREEMANS SPORTING CLUB –TOKYO, items have been curated in collaboration with GIG LAMPS, an online store specializing in vintage eyewear.
GIG LAMPS, which handles vintage frames and sunglasses from America, the UK, and France, will present deadstock items from leading American brands such as American Optical, founded in 1826 as the oldest eyewear brand in America, alongside Bausch & Lomb, TART OPTICAL, and SHURON.
Discover Prototypes of Today's Popular Designs
The collection, distinct from the current mainstream 'classic modern' aesthetic and irresistible to vintage enthusiasts, consists entirely of deadstock items in excellent condition. Through the texture, color, hinge durability, and rivet details of the vintage frames, one can experience their unique atmosphere and the spirit of their era.
We hope you find your own unique frame among these timeless eyewear masterpieces.
