Barton Perreira

We tend to forget that sunglasses are the only piece of design that sits between our eyes and the rest of the world. Founded in Los Angeles, Barton Perreira handcrafts its frames in Japan with an unusually exacting approach to light and vision. Each pair passes through more than a hundred stages of handwork, shaping plant-based acetate and Japanese titanium into lightweight, architectural forms. Slipping them on feels like a private, quiet relief—a beautifully tinted filter through which to watch the afternoon unfold.
