What's over there? 🤔
Its Lorimer, the classic.
It fits every face: big or small, tall or short, wide or narrow, the coolest of the cool or the Nerdy .

The Lorimer,
worn in the afternoon.

The double bridge is a borrowed idea, and the Lorimer knows it. It comes from old flight frames — the second bar was structure, not style, a way to keep a wide front from flexing.

What keeps it from feeling like a costume is the proportion. The eye is a soft-cornered square, kept low and wide, so it sits like a pair of windows rather than goggles. A frame this size could easily overwhelm — the Lorimer doesn't, because the lines are clean and the acetate is honest about its weight. It's a big frame that wears quiet.

The color is the part a photograph almost can't hold. Smoke at the top, warming to a translucent honey-brown as it falls toward the cheek — not two colors but one slow gradient, the kind that only happens when the tortoise is cut from solid block and the pattern is left to do what it does through the depth of the material. Against pale skin and against this kind of light, it goes amber where the sun runs through it and near-black where it stacks. No two fronts come out the same. The pair in this picture is the only one of its exact color that will ever exist.

A few details that reward a second look.
The bridge join — where the two bars meet the front, the acetate is shaped, not just drilled. Run a thumb across it and there's no edge, only a turn.

The temples — they run thick and straight, then taper at the very end to sit flat behind the ear. Glasses you forget you're wearing by noon. That's the whole ambition.

Worn here on a clear day, it does the thing the best frames do. Made by hand, and built to be in plenty more afternoons after this one.

This is Ren.

The round is the hardest shape to make well. A circle is read all at once: there's nowhere for an error to hide, no corner to carry a wobble, no flattering angle to fall back on. Getting both eyes to hold a true circle — and to match each other — is slow, unshowy work, and it's the whole point of the piece. Simple from across a room; particular up close.
The acetate is where the character lives. It's cut from solid block — the same material we source as raw sheet from Japan and Europe — so the tortoise is one no other frame will repeat. Hold it to a light and it opens up: cognac and burnt amber where the sheet runs thin, near-black where the pattern pools, the odd honey fleck that won't show on the next pair. Nothing is printed or laid on top. The colour runs the full way through the material, which is why it ages instead of wearing off.
A few things worth slowing down for.
The pins — those small steel rivets at the temple are set by hand into the acetate, an old way of anchoring the hinge that's kept here because it still holds and still looks right. Half fixing, half signature.
The profile — thick rims, a low rounded bridge, temples that taper to sit flat behind the ear. Nothing shaved thin to save material; the weight is honest, and it sits like it means it.
The surface — every edge tumbled and hand-polished over days until the acetate comes up to glass. That shine is the material itself, brought up slowly, not a coat of anything.
Made by hand, and meant to be worn for years rather than seasons — the kind of object that quietly takes the shape of whoever wears it, and outlasts whatever was trending the week they found it.

Untitled (103rd)
Nerdy Frames, 2026
Digital illustration; vector on rendered ground
The figure regards the viewer through hexagonal frames, neither smiling nor withholding. Rendered in the visual grammar of mid-century editorial illustration — the warm sand ground, the deliberate roughness of the line, the restraint of a four-color palette — the work proposes the eyewear not as accessory but as architecture for the face. The clear lens is its quiet argument: this is an instrument for seeing, not for being seen.
Drawn in the house style of the brand's quarterly, the portrait belongs to a larger taxonomy of faces and forms — a catalogue that treats the act of choosing a frame as a small study in self-recognition. The hand is intentionally present. Nothing here pretends to be a photograph.
