Texture. As you know, we love it! We've imagined the randomness of driftwood or reclaimed wood reinterpreted it into eyewear. A good portion of our collection this season is covered in this new favorite texture. Every piece is beautifully sanded by hand, unique, and artisanally crafted for you. Truly handmade goodness...

We hit the streets of NYC with legendary photographer and friend Janette Beckman this fall. Janette shot this amazing photo above. One of the most sought after photos by rock art collectors and one of our favorites. She helped us capture this vibe with some people on the streets around the city. As it turns out, Janette and Mick Hodgson, our friend from the amazing design firm Ph.D, A Design Office who designed our website, are long time friends from London! Many thanks for the awesome site. 

Casper from Belgium. Cool guy studying fashion design in NYC.

Russian guy traveling the USA. Found sitting in front of Chelsea Market. Janette said he reminded her of a young Dee Dee Ramone, who she has photographed. Surreal. 

KBL team doing some streetside styling in SOHO. Met some great people on this shoot. And a lot of them were literally trying to buy our samples right out of our trays right after this pic was taken! Thank you to everyone photographed. We had a blast!

Soldier Betty in Verde, Wild Promises 56 in Black/Red Polka Dots and Fearless Flames in Flamenco Tortoise are a small part of the Flamenco Collection.

New York City has a little bit of everything. Including, yes, flamenco. The cuturally ambitious designers behind KBL have wrapped it up in acetate for you to enjoy.

We think sea glass is as fascinating as it is beautiful. Every piece discovered is a gem with its own story. Possibly from a beautiful bottle of perfume, or an incredible wine enjoyed on a sailing journey, or a late night beer from a 1950s beach party.

Our Transparent Green and Crystal Clear colors are just two examples representing a carefully finished collection all in matte satin finishes to mimic the natural polishing and erosion of a piece of glass tumbling in the sea over many years. Maybe they may even remind you of that rare sea glass find on your favorite beach.

Silver City aviator in Surf Green

We designed our original collection of aviators which launched the brand in 2009 around iconic vintage guitar colors--surf green, burgundy mist, sonic blue, etc. Interpreting them in two tone, with the front and temple contrasting. Which is not easy to do by the way! We love the way they turned out. The surf green Silver City is one of our favorites. Hope you enjoy them.
