Eyewear spotlight: NATIVE SONS

We are thrilled to introduce Native Sons Eyewear to our boutique’s curated collection. Founded by acclaimed designer Tommy O’Gara, Native Sons is renowned for its meticulous craftsmanship and timeless designs that blend vintage aesthetics with modern sensibilities. 

Each pair of Native Sons glasses is handcrafted in Sabae and Fukui City, Japan—regions celebrated for pioneering post-war Japanese eyewear production. A dedicated team and master technicians employs heritage and custom-rebuilt equipment, utilizing custom materials and artisan production methods to bring each design from sketch to final product. 

Native Sons offers a diverse range of eyewear collections, each with its unique character:

• Fighting Irish (and Scottish) 7mm Collection: This series features sculpted yet lightweight frames made from 7mm Japanese Takiron cotton-based acetate, original hardware, and 16K gold-plated core wires. 

• Engineered Collection: These remarkably lightweight and minimalist frames are crafted from Japanese titanium, featuring a feathered pattern at the nose pads and sculptural negative space at the temple tips. 

Native Sons’ commitment to quality is evident in their use of carefully selected materials and detailed hand-made processes, ensuring each piece promises enduring style and durability. 

We invite you to explore the refined artistry of Native Sons Eyewear, where each frame embodies a perfect balance of tradition and innovation, offering a distinctive statement for the discerning individual.
