Activist Eyewear: Limited Edition Sunglasses Designed in Brooklyn and Made in Japan

January 14th, 2011 by Administrator Leave a reply »

As industrial production has grown over the past 200 years, the idea has taken root that more is always better. Being able to manufacture a product the exact same way millions of times gives large corporations the ability to sell the same thing to nearly everyone who wants it. However, when it comes to fashion, the uniformity blurs individualism, and quality can suffer.

At Activist, they don’t prioritize quantity over quality. They value novelty as well as consistency, and they live this ideal by crafting each of their sunglasses in limited editions. Each colorway of every design is made in runs of 718 pieces, in honor of their hometown area code. This allows them to offer unique frames that are made for an individual, not a market segment. When a colorway sells out for that design, it won’t be offered again.

Model 10.01 | Colorway 03
Signature mix of classic style and futuristic high performance. Whether you’re sailing on open waters or strolling the streets of Brooklyn, you’ll always feel dapper in the 10.01. And no matter where you go, the dynamic Hingeless Split-Fit™ conforms perfectly to your head and guarantees these shades will stay locked in place.

Model 10.02 | Colorway 02
A clean, classic look essential to the modern traveler’s wardrobe. From the Hong Kong harbor to that favorite Ozarks fishing spot, the polarized Activizm™ lenses provide unparalleled optics and protection. Plus, the stainless steel frame is built with Split-Fit™ technology so it’s ultra durable and always comfortable.

Model 10.03 | Colorway 02
Minimalist and refined, Activist reached far into the past and future to conjure a look that’s as timeless as it is forward-looking. Wear these while trolling the Champs-Élysées or exploring the jungles of Costa Rica. The Split-Fit™ temples and Activizm™ lenses ensure a killer fit and excellent visual acuity.

Brooklyn NY is the hometown of Activist Eyewear and that is where they thrive on the energy of the streets, communities and local way of life. All of their products are inspired by the fabric of this place. Then, in order to bring each sunglass design to life, they work with small family-owned factories in Japan, where their partners are true craftsmen, combining old-world workmanship with cutting-edge technology. This creative pathway – from Brooklyn to Japan and back – is the soul of Activist Eyewear.

Each pair of Activist frames is crafted using the highest quality workmanship and materials and is hand finished with attention to every detail. If you find that there’s a manufacturer’s defect in your sunglasses up to 2 years from the date of purchase, they will either repair or replace them.

Activist Eyewear is visionary sunglasses that meld new technology with timeless style. Wear them everywhere, for everything, forever.
