【Trad New Release】Stripped down to the essentials. The single-bridge "TR2608L Balsam" with exquisite cutting.
It's about subtracting, not adding. From eyewear brand Trad, the new metal frames "TR2608L Balsam" from the 2026 Late Collection "Horic Generation" have arrived.
If "TR2607L Thrift" from the same collection increased the number of bridges to two, Balsam is the opposite. It re-imagines the timelessly loved square shape with a single, clean bridge for a modern look. By stripping down the composition, the details of the work directly define the expression of these frames.
Three Charms of "Balsam"
1. Intellectual Sharpness Born from a Clean Single Bridge
Ultra-thin metal lines and a solid single bridge. By not adding ornamentation, the silhouette itself determines the impression. Combined with the sleek, square-based lens shape, your eyes instantly look sharper the moment you put them on. We've achieved a balance that seamlessly fits into business settings or as an accent to simple outfits.
2. Exquisite Cutting Throughout the Rim
We highly recommend taking a closer look at the intricate cutting applied to the entire rim. The fine, engraving-like patterns create deep shadows depending on the angle of the light. This density within a minimalist design creates a two-tiered expression: simple from a distance, yet rich up close.
The tips of the temples feature square cutouts. While not visible to the wearer, we believe that the accumulation of such craftsmanship lends credibility to the product.
3. Lightness and Sense of Security Unique to Titanium
The material used is titanium, which is lightweight and highly durable. The nose pads are made of titanium in the same color as the frame, unifying the metallic texture from the front to the temples and pads. It also offers practical benefits, being resistant to oils and dirt and less prone to deterioration.
The ultra-thin temples are designed to gently hold the face with appropriate flexibility. They are nickel-free, making them safe for those with metal allergies.
Color Variations
We offer three colors, each with a distinct look.
-
C1 Silver ── An inorganic and intellectual impression. This is the clearest expression of Balsam's essence, where the shadows created by the rim's cutting are most beautifully highlighted.
-
C2 Gold ── Blends well with the skin, adding glamour and warmth to the eyes. This color offers a softer impression of the classic structure of the single bridge.
-
C3 Black ── Clearly defines the silhouette of the ultra-thin lines. This color tightens the impression of the face and easily matches a fashionable look.
