Fellas, not all eyewear is made equal...

SALT. eyewear is built for those who appreciate good design. The aesthetic of Kieran's piece has been called “the new modernist” with clean lines and subtle contouring.

Each frame is handcrafted in Japan using high-grade Japanese acetate, selected for its depth of colour and long-term stability. The result is a frame that feels engineered rather than produced. Hinges are riveted for durability, while hand-polished finishes deliver a smoothness only possible through time and skill.

SALT. create with intent. Their philosophy combines timeless Californian aesthetics with Japanese precision — for those who value superior engineering and enduring quality.

School’s back today — and we haven’t forgotten about the younger guys✌️

Cathal wears - a relaxed, easy-going shape that just works. The keyhole bridge and matte tortoiseshell tone keep things classic, while the metal rivet detail adds superb strength.

For younger faces, getting the fit right is key — frames need to feel comfortable and stay in place. But just as important is that they enjoy wearing them. Garrett Leight delivers: superb fit combined with great design.
