1. Introduction (The story of rope-wrapped temples)
Well, first of all, we will announce it in 2021,
This is about Nawatemaki, which is still on sale in 2022 and is very popular.
"Winding vine"
The shape of the temples (or cable temples)
The ear-mounted part of the eyeglasses/sunglasses frame is
As you can see in the picture, it is round.
It fits securely in your ear.
The glass chain in the photo is a large ring.
The connected design,
It leaves an impact on the viewer.
As a fashion accessory,
Very METRONOME-like,
This is a glass chain with a strong presence.
Glass chains are not just about practicality,
It has a strong image of being used by fashionable people.
Therefore, the glass chains you see in shops are
My impression is that most of the items are very elaborately designed.
As an aside,
Glass chains are very popular at overseas exhibitions.
In Europe and other places, it is customary to wear glasses/sunglasses as eyewear (decoration).
This tendency was particularly noticeable in areas where the practice was well established.
The exhibition is just an exhibition,
I only bring samples.
The deal is made, but
Payment and delivery usually come later.
However, there are many people who say, "I want to buy it on the spot and take it home!"
I feel like I hear it every time I go to an exhibition.
2. Choose from traditional rope hand-wrapped or straight styles
Now,
Regarding "Summer Rain" that I introduced earlier.
These are temples with "rope hand wrapping."
(Sometimes I get requests to make it straight.
I'd love to hear your comments, but...)
Also, Summer Rain has a lens part
It is double-layered.
On top of the clear lens
The sunglasses lenses are designed to fit over the lenses,
As a result, the lenses are heavier than other glasses.
Due to these structural reasons, the rope is wrapped around the rope.
So,
"Is there a similar design that is straight?"
The new 2021-2022 model "Trad"
We offer eyeglasses/sunglasses.
"Trad" is
The designer felt that there were unnecessary things (patterns and designs) in the frames of the glasses.
Stripped away everything,
"The ultimate goal is to arrive at a plain T-shirt,
Ultimately, it's all about silhouette and functionality.
This is a brand that has perfected eyeglass and sunglasses frames.
It launched in 2021 at MIDO.
The frame in the photo is made of rope,
Straight temples are also available with the same lens shape.
Trad is a conservative design,
It is primarily aimed at the Japanese market.
Our shop's Trad series of flip-up lens items include:
There are two frame types.
( Straight type and rope hand-wrapped type)
First, please take a look at this image.
First, straight (the item is Lily [Trad 2021].
Next is rope hand wrapping (item: Gentian [Trad 2021])
As you can see in the image,
The part of the rope hand wrap that goes over the ears is curled up.
This allows people who are usually on the move at work or in their personal lives to
For those who have this problem, the glasses are designed to stay in place.
With glasses of a classical design,
It can also be used in workplaces with a slightly formal atmosphere.
It could be a fashionable item.
If you'd like, there's a video too,
Please also refer to how to tie the rope ↓ The actual texture, etc.
I hope you can get a sense of this.
Since it's a good opportunity
Please also take a look at the shots of the rope hand wrapping from different angles.
From behind it looks like the image below.
3. Trad's signature item: "Flip-up"
And speaking of the Trad series, the lift-up design is very popular.
What is a jump-up?
This refers to glasses/sunglasses with lenses that open upwards.
It is also known as Flip Up.
The well-known round glasses, Trad-Lily, are also flip-up type.
This is the jumping series,
The fogging that often occurs when wearing a mask is not so bad.
It's easy to use.
Normally, I wear a mask,
If you wear glasses/sunglasses,
Does it fog up every time you breathe?
especially,
Frames that tend to be relatively airtight tend to fog up easily.
There is also the subtle stress of not being able to return to normal.
If the product has nose pads, it will fit snugly against the surface of your face.
Since the glasses/sunglasses are placed at a distance, they are less likely to fog up.
However, when it's cloudy, it's cloudy.
Trad's flip-up series is
There are no nose pads,
Instead, it is a single-ridge type with anti-slip silicone coating .
There is a space between the surface of your face and the lens,
Even when wearing a mask and with the lenses lowered, they are relatively resistant to fogging (and fogging is easy to eliminate)!
(Clip-on lenses allow you to wear them as both glasses and sunglasses!)
When purchasing, you can choose between straight or rope-wrapped temples .

By the way, the size has become larger,
For Lily and Summer Rain users
It may not be the right size
The original METRONOME also has rope hand-wrapped and round glasses.
The title is "Since Yesterday."
(Since Yesterday available in four different color variations)
Designed by Zainer in one stroke,
This is the first product released in this season's collection.
The lenses are photochromic lenses,
Cable temples (rope hand wrapping) are used.
In addition, we have adopted Klings,
Metal is less likely to cause allergies
Titanium is used.
It's a pretty solid design.
"Photochromic lenses"
The color of the lens changes depending on the amount of UV rays.
It's starting to change.
As clear glasses indoors,
Can be used as sunglasses outdoors.
There is no need to worry about replacing it.
It has been well received for being very easy to use.
If you'd like, please see the details here .
By the way, if you line up the three frames I introduced today, it looks like this:
It's hard to tell from the perspective,
Since Yesterday is big from any angle.
Rope-wrapped glasses are
Because the temples are rounded
Some eyeglass/ sunglasses cases may not fit.
Our shop comes with a special case ,
Use the dedicated case when carrying
I hope you will use it.
(Trad comes with a dedicated case and cleaning cloth. *Clip lenses are sold separately.)
