Embrace life’s noisy improvisations in sophisticated spectacles designed for a walk on the wild side. Named after the Velvet Underground’s second album, and inspired by founding member John Cale’s personal glasses this art-rock eyewear has serious proto-punk cred.

All that glitters might actually be gold, especially in these unisex aviators with a ‘70s edge, equipped with a modest brow bar and signature temple tip that exudes an intoxicating combination of giddy hedonism and Wall Street wolfishness.

Inspired by big thinkers and ambitious outcasts, the ZEPHIRIN (named after Pope Zephyrinus) is notable for its distinctive pre-WWII sizing, meticulous hand-finish, and sculpted temple construction. With its slim lines and eclectic silhouette, these spectacles are perfect for everyday use by the cultural aesthete, imbuing the wearer with the panache of a professor and the swagger of a saint.

Designed in collaboration with CO, these ‘40s inspired spectacles reference the works of R.M. Schindler an Austrian-born architect whose clean lines and inventive use of materials became synonymous with Southern California’s modern architectural movement.
