Japan has a rich history in traditional crafts and manufacturing processes. Many people don't realize that eyewear manufacturing in Japan is done by a skilled craftsman with many steps done entirely by hand. Heralded as masters of precision, Japanese artisans pay great attention to detail and focus on technical perfection. Only the finest materials are used, including titanium, beta-titanium, acetate and 18k gold. Handmade in Japan is synonymous with high quality and luxury.
EYEVAN 7285
Eyevan was born in 1972 with a rather particular concept. Its vision is to offer “glasses to dress like a fashion item”. In 1985, the brand made a sensational entry into the world of eyewear. Eyevan frames are now known for their timeless design and when we look at the brand's handwritten drawings or archives, we can see the authentic craftsmanship of Japan. It is a true ode to creativity and enthusiasm.
Finally, in 2013, more than 40 years after the brand's launch, a new team of designers reconstructed the Eyevan 7285 eyewear brand based on the brand's ancient archives, redefining beauty standards. They took inspiration from the original hand-drawn designs and product research from the 1972-1985 era, thus naming the new collection EYEVAN 7285
