The ACCRUE eyewear design team from South Korea consists of individuals from various fields, including not only eyewear designers but also independent curators, spatial designers, and perfumers. The inspiration for eyewear design comes from movies, literature, art, pop art, and more. Designers use these elements to create eyewear frames.

The concept of ACCRUE eyewear is "WEAR INSPIRED." The design team introduces many different themes each season to give eyewear a variety of styles, allowing wearers to experience different feelings in their daily lives. ACCRUE eyewear incorporates many retro and colorful elements, such as dual-tone gradient lens sunglasses and metal round frames, which have always been popular styles of ACCRUE. With their affordable prices, they are widely loved by modern young people and are often worn by celebrities both on and off screen. 

The avant-garde Japanese eyewear brand Filton, which debuted in 2021, is the proprietary brand of "eyewear artist" Takuya Tanabe. Filton eyewear exudes a rich French flair, resonating with a romantic atmosphere full of artistic character.

Among them, the most widely recognized Filton splatter-style frames are hand-sprayed by the designer himself. Whether in craftsmanship or aesthetic style, they emit a distinctive brilliance, imbuing the brand's eyewear with a romantic and striking beauty. Within just six months, Filton has become popular in Japanese communities and has been invited to over 30 eyewear stores domestically. Filton's unique "romantic spirit" has also spread worldwide through the internet.

Filton allows us to perceive abstract emotions through our eyes. Serving as a carrier, eyeglasses employ colorful and splendid artistic designs to materialize the palpitations and sensibilities in people's hearts, crafting beautiful Filton eyewear that will be cherished forever.

The philosophy of Crystal is “dedicated to providing users with a good visual experience”.

Made in Taiwan, Crystal enhanced sunglasses with exclusive RGB425^TM technology to provide visitors a better journey under the sun.

“The meaning of travel is to encounter more beautiful scenery.”

Crystal protects travelers from the harm under the sun to their eyes, accompanying them as they explore cities or villages and discover the beauty of nature. 

Crystal uses “enhancement technology” and “glass polarized lenses”, which can effectively eliminate most glare and improve clarity. The enhanced sunglasses have following features:

✔︎ Depth Perception UP!

✔︎ Clarity UP!

✔︎ Scratch Resistance UP!

✔︎ Comfort UP!

Furthermore:

✔︎ Enhance color contrast

✔︎ Improve object depth perception

✔︎ Achieve 99.5% polarization

✔︎ Eliminate glaring reflections

“To provide users with the best visual experience, we use the highest-grade optical glass lenses.”

Glass lenses, well-known for their scratch resistance and high clarity, are not mainstream in today’s market mechanisms. However, Crystal has not abandoned this technology but continues to develop and improve it in collaboration with lens manufacturers. Glass lenses themselves have excellent scratch resistance, allowing sunglasses to withstand wind and sand without scratching. They also have a permanent water-repellent treatment, making sunglasses easy to clean and durable.

The brand name XAZTLAN is inspired by name of the legendary continent “AZTLAN”, as passed down through the oral tradition of Native Americans. It aims to show its passion for fashion trends, much like the curiosity of the indigenous people for unknown territories, by creating a series of vibrant and innovative concept sunglasses.

The founder of XAZTLAN, Mr. Masataka Nakajima, also the founder of Groover Spectacles, always dreamed of establishing a sports performance sunglasses brand. However, this dream seemed far-fetched.

In 2018, he traveled extensively throughout North America, engaging in direct sales and promoting his own eyewear brand “GROOVER”. The conservative eyewear market in the United States wasn’t particularly welcoming to outsiders. Mr. Nakajima made multiple attempts, traveling from Vancouver in Canada along the west coast to Los Angeles, and from Toronto in the east to New York, all in pursuit of sales, but the results were less than ideal.

During his time in Los Angeles, he had brief exchanges with staff who had worked for the world’s largest sports performance eyewear manufacturer. These interactions provided some solace when his sales efforts in North America seemed futile. Several months later, he returned to the United States with a draft of the XAZTLAN project proposal and organizational structure. Eventually, Mr. Nakajima reached a cooperation agreement with an American partner. While GROOVER didn’t succeed in making its mark, XAZTLAN emerged as a result of these efforts.
