AKONI, a luxury eyewear brand that has been attracting attention in the industry, will be holding a pop-up event showcasing its full collection at Isetan Shinjuku Store, Men's Building 1F from June 7th (Wed) to June 20th (Tue).

Aconi is an eyewear brand that is committed to the highest quality and the skills of its master craftsmen.

Aconi aims to continuously push the boundaries of quality by using only the finest materials and employing the skilled craftsmanship of Japanese artisans. Drawing inspiration from objects that symbolize personal achievements and are meant to be cherished for a lifetime, such as the world's most collected watches and luxury writing instruments, Aconi creates its frames. Furthermore, at the core of its designs lies inspiration from inspiring stories of historical figures, expressing the spirit of art and beauty through eyewear.

Introducing our new 2023 collection!

The Spring/Summer 2023 collection draws inspiration from the silver screen stars and film music that left a brilliant mark on the mid-century, proposing a minimalist yet confident style. This pop-up event will showcase the full collection of men's and women's items, including new products. Don't miss this opportunity to experience a truly unique eyewear experience.

Inspired by the smooth browline frames worn by Polish film composer and jazz pianist Krzysztof Komeda when he was composing with conviction, these glasses perfectly capture the three elements that symbolized that era: optimism, rebellion, and progress, evoking a mid-century vibe. The spirit of artistic rebellion is expressed through the thick browline made of Japanese acetate and the adjustable titanium temples.

To commemorate the launch of "Hubble," a special design has been announced, with 200 frames engraved with serial numbers. This limited edition design was created by Japanese craftsmen at Akoni, who skillfully carved the surface to create a delicate, smooth finish and a unique organic pattern.

The "Calisto" takes the classic 1980s optical aviator and adds a modern, sophisticated touch with its innovative double-rim design. The accentuating brow bar is bolted on, combining functionality with aesthetic appeal.

"Alpha" is inspired by the Jazz Age spirit of Fitzgerald's masterpiece, "The Great Gatsby." The sculpted Japanese acetate, the brand's signature rivets, and the laminated core temples represent the rebellion, freedom, and joy of the 1920s. This frame symbolizes Gatsby gazing at the beautiful light across the bay from his West Egg mansion, lost in thought of the past.

Inspired by the timeless elegance of legendary watchmaker Gerald Genta, the "Pathfinder" features a curved navigator shape with small, perforated side shields reminiscent of the interiors of top-of-the-line vintage sports cars. The adjustable temple system demonstrates Acconi's continued commitment to technological innovation and ensures a precise fit.

A selection of exquisite related items

In addition, we will be exhibiting and selling eyeglass cleaning cloths from Diffuser Tokyo, which has attracted attention from the global eyewear market for its sophisticated eyewear cases and eyeglass cords, and Metropolitan Cross Bottle, which has the concept of "transforming art to be seen into art to be used."

This glasses holder is crafted from smooth cowhide leather, achieving a high-quality sheen and pleasant feel. It features joints on both sides to release tension from the leather, eliminating the discomfort often associated with leather products. The joints rest on the shoulders when worn, distributing the weight of the cord for a lightweight and comfortable fit. While all metal parts are silver, they actually have a bluish tint, expressing a modern, luxurious feel. This product combines functional design with superior texture, making it a highly recommended item that offers exceptional comfort.

We will also be selling eyeglass cleaning cloths created in collaboration with illustrator Kanako Sasaki, who works on various advertising visuals and product packaging with a focus on fashion.
