Nineteen Sixties Collection

The Nineteen Sixties collection is inspired by the era's cultural landmarks—cinema, fashion, music, literature, and art—alongside the iconic figures who shaped them. This influence is evident in the bold materials, distinctive shapes, and beveled details. Crafted in Japan, each piece features custom-designed corewire, hinges, and plaque inspired by the intricate designs of vintage leather-bound books from the era. The corewire is marked with precious materials, with options in both 18k white gold and 18k yellow gold plating. Together, the collection exclusive details capture the essence of 1960s style.

Products featured

Hayton is a panto-style sunglass with a timeless, vintage design and keyhole bridge detail. The frame feels fit for a movie star of the era. Perhaps sitting at a café reading the latest Truman Capote novel or reviewing a script for their next feature film.

Devaney is a rectangular sunglass with a deep lens shape and bold, striking lines. Its soft yet sharp design and distinctive colorways evoke the perfect accessory for the musicians of the era, channeling the style of icons like Jimi Hendrix.

Alfrey is a bold, square optical frame with a striking silhouette, featuring exclusive 1960s-inspired accents. Designed for the intellectuals of the era, it captures the essence of larger-than-life literary legends.

"In the 1960s, accessories were bold, vibrant, and an essential part of a look that spoke of freedom and creativity."

– Patti Smith
