Sunglasses in a Rich Array of Colors to Showcase a Man's Playful Spirit
The cross motif adorning the temples, which at first glance appears to be painted, is beautifully crafted using 'Zogan' (an advanced inlay technique where a portion of the surface of one material is carved out, and another material's lines or fragments are inlaid into the recess to form patterns, before being polished to a smooth finish).
The Zogan inlay of vibrant pink and white crosses on the slightly thick frames evokes a pop sensibility reminiscent of the 80s. The standard colors, such as clear, black, and tortoiseshell combinations, possess a simple beauty that recalls the 50s and 60s. Furthermore, the pyramid studs on the hinges, serving as eye-catching details, stand out against the classical, simple design.
The joy of choosing from the colors alone is a pleasure, and selecting them to match one's outfit adds another layer of interest. These fashion-forward models are already generating buzz.
