Blake Kuwahara, two frames in one.
The construction concept is visible at first glance: an inner frame that holds the lenses is set inside a second, translucent outer frame. This double-frame design requires significantly more manufacturing steps, which helps explain the price difference compared with much of the rest of our selection.
The result is also a frame with strong presence and volume. Of the 42 models we carry, 30 are classified as Large or X-Large. On a narrow face, they may feel more dominant than balanced, so proper fitting is especially important.
