Blackfin introduces their new eyewear series, Pacific. The name Pacific is reminiscent of an ocean that unites two cultures, two worlds, and two ways of interpreting the design of eyeglasses from the 1940s. The style originated in Japan and became renowned worldwide after undergoing a refined transformation in California. Blackfin has reinterpreted these classic designs with a contemporary touch, resulting in sleek eyeglass frames that exude an ageless elegance. The new series embodies the brand’s characteristic technical expertise and design language. Blackfin Pacific is created from a single 3mm block of titanium for durability and strength. Despite the technical material, the frame is smoothly chamfered, providing an unmatched visual softness that cannot be replicated mechanically. Additionally, the Swordfish temple tips, which are patented, enable easy and quick adjustment of the temples to ensure optimal wearability on all face types. This groundbreaking series is offered in three versions, each interpreting the iconic shapes of classic Japanese design in a retro-modern style. Pacific ‘Big Sur’ has a panto shape with pure, timeless lines, while Pacific ‘Sierra’ has beveled edges and a more contemporary appearance. Pacific ‘Mojave’, on the other hand, has a rounded square shape with a more classic vibe.

Andy Wolf has made a new addition to the AWearness family, AW06, made from bioacetate, available in two colorways with a panto form. The new AW06 style features three-dimensional and ergonomic facets, and each component has been meticulously crafted to ensure a timeless quality. The AW06 model includes a clip-on accessory that features high-quality Zeiss sun lenses capable of providing full protection against UVA and UVB rays. These clip-ons are handcrafted at their facility located in France. Additionally, the clip-ons possess an integrated closing block that permits the use of blue filter lenses or reading glasses glazing. In line with the AWearness frame design philosophy, the AW06’s clip-on combines classic and innovative elements. Unlike conventional clip-ons, it conforms to the frame’s contour rather than the lens, imbuing the model with a distinctive shape. The versatile nature of the AW06 as both an everyday companion and a pair of sunglasses is another manifestation of its sustainability features.
