An American eyewear brand founded in Southern California in 2007 by Bill Barton and Patty Perreira, former president and VP of design at Oliver Peoples respectively, who left to build their own label together. Every frame is handcrafted in Japan from lightweight titanium, taking weeks per pair, with a minimalist design language that deliberately avoids visible branding. The brand joined LVMH's eyewear house Thélios in 2023.
