Collection: EYEVAN / EYEVAN7285

EYEVAN | Eyevan is Japan's first fashion eyewear brand, founded in 1972. Based on antique eyewear collected from around the world as a design source, the design team added their aesthetic sense and sensibilities, and the beautiful eyewear, handcrafted by skilled artisans, garnered numerous enthusiasts worldwide. The products from that era remain timeless, and from the products and hand-drawn blueprints, one can discern the high technical skill of the producers and artisans, as well as the imagination and strong passion of the design team. With beautiful designs that dispelled the previously negative image of eyewear as merely a vision correction tool, and reliable Japan-made quality, EYEVAN created a new trend of enjoying eyewear as a fashion item.

EYEVAN 7285 | EYEVAN started in 1972 with the concept of "eyewear you wear" and expanded globally in 1985. EYEVAN's products remain timeless, and from their products and hand-drawn blueprints, one can discern the high technical skill of the producers and artisans, as well as the imagination and strong passion of the design team from that time.

Approximately 40 years later, in 2013, a new design team inherited EYEVAN's craftsmanship and created a collection that embodies what they truly consider beautiful today: EYEVAN 7285.

The design sources for EYEVAN 7285 include old eyeglasses, telescopes, hand mirrors, and other old tools collected by the original design team, as well as various man-made objects such as buildings seen by the designers themselves, and natural objects and materials.

Furthermore, EYEVAN 7285 products are created through a complex production process that combines the manual work of skilled spectacle artisans in Sabae City, Fukui Prefecture, one of the world's top eyewear production regions, with machine manufacturing using the latest equipment. Taking time and care through approximately 400 steps, these spectacles are more akin to modern crafts than industrial products.
