my dilemma too, i like the weight and the styles, but finding the right size on kuboraum is harder than i thought. I need to check the other styles.Havent tried A1 yet, i like that model hope it works.

gave up finding a pair of kubos that looked good on me (beautiful but intimidating), and settled on a pair of mykita scarletts. hope they're not too flimsy, i like the weight of kubos.

Yeah, i think i need to try on some of the other styles that i wouldn't think of putting on otherwise. you'll never know, it might just work.

Try the round metal ones that I got. It is extremely difficult for me to find the right sunglasses for my face and I am very surprised that this seemingly difficult style was simply perfect.

the A1 and B1 models are more conventional in terms of style and proportion.

Has anyone handled Blyszak Sunglasses?



One style, 3 different material variations:

"A SINGLE EYEWEAR DESIGN THAT MIXES COATED GRADE-A-STEEL, ETHICALLY-SOURCED ASIATIC WATER BUFFALO AND NIGERIAN OXEN HORN BY-PRODUCT. COLLECTION I COMPRISES THREE VARIATIONS ON ONE STYLE: METAL, METAL/HORN AND HORN."

THESE HAVE A GREAT WEIGHT AND ARE INCREDIBLY WELL DESIGNED. GOOD TOO FOR BOTH MEN AND WOMEN.

Finally picked up a pair of Ziggy Chen X Rigards glasses from the Ziggy store here in Beijng. Great build, and nice finish. I really like the use of horn.

i'm in the market for light sunglasses - i recently picked up a new pair of mykitas (dash model) and have been eyeing the dior composit 1.0s - anybody own the dior's / have other recs?

thanks!!

Are you looking for sunglasses or ophthalmic? Take a look at MYKITA and their collabs (Margiela & Damir Doma) light weight and great design

I can't choose glasses. All that I looked, disliked on a design, comfort.
What brands in a fashion now? What glasses do you have?
Share your ideas on this occasion.

Best glasses/sunglasses at the moment brand is Rigards hands down. Kuboraum is great as well. I am interested in any eyewear produced by Taichi Murakami but it not everyone's cup of tea.

My wife gave me some eye glasses from a brand I had never heard of before called Vava a few months ago. Really well built, comfortable, and I quite like the design. Really nice weight, and the hinges have the perfect amount of ''spring'' to them. I tried a lot of Kuboraum and Rigards frames that, while I loved, didn't fit my unfortunately odd shaped face but I love these:

Also some nice sunglass frames.

I think Vava is getting more stockists now than a year ago. I've seen a few online places I frequent started carrying them. But the name still gets me.

Does anyone know of a decent source for vintage/antique horn frames?

I'm sure there must be a collector/dealer out there somewhere... Any help would be appreciated.

I’ve handled some Kuboraums for the first time this yesterday and tbh I gotta admit they were not as substantial as I thought they’d be judging from the pics. I mean some of them looked real nice, but I expected them to be a bit heavier and one model with a scratched in pattern looked like a DIY project. Am I the only one who thinks that way?

I like how you described them as substantial, and was wondering the same thing. It might be weird to want weighty glasses but want some big framed glasses, maybe linda farrow?
