Spring/Summer ‘26, we outside. ☀️

From the runway lights of Ottawa to brunch in Toronto and community pop-ups in Brooklyn, we’ve been connecting with the people, places, and stories that inspire everything we do.

To everyone who stopped by, tried on a frame, shared a story, or showed us love along the way, thank you. 🤎

This season is only getting started.

More stories. More cities. More moments to come.

Keep your eyes open.

Where do you think should we pop up next? 👀

ANANSI has entered the chat.

Named after the storyteller & symbol of wit woven through West African and Caribbean folklore, this frame was made for those who move through the world with presence.

Pronounced uh-NAHN-see, Anansi is a silhouette that speaks before you do. Bold and playful in character, effortless in wear, and made to leave an impression long after you’ve passed through.

Because at Bôhten, every frame is more than style.
It’s story, identity, and intention.

Bôhten’s new collection for Spring/Summer ‘26 is unfolding. And this is only the beginning.

Would you wear Anansi as sunglasses or opticals? 👇🏿

featured the Jade II last month — a style from the Icon Series.

Three years ago, we made a quiet decision: stop chasing seasons. Build pieces that would still matter later.

The Icon Series came out of that. Grateful to see it still landing.

More soon.

Your eyes are feeling the environment more than you think 👁️🌍

Air pollution doesn’t just affect the planet—it affects your eye health and vision too.

From dry eyes and irritation to long-term impact, what’s in the air shows up in how you see every day.

This Earth Day, take a moment to protect both. 🌱

Because caring for your eyes is part of caring for the world you experience through them.

Protect your eyes. Protect your environment.
