Salt. Ash

SALT. Ash is the square that does not announce itself and then stays in your head anyway. SALT. names it for Hal Ashby — new-Hollywood patience, underdogs, no costume — and that is how it sits in our case: quiet character, clean geometry, Japanese acetate you can actually adjust.

We fit Ash as a true designer optical. Japanese stock, functional rivet hinges, a 47 mm eye that reads considered rather than oversized. Designed in California. Handcrafted in Japan. Frame $465.

Who it’s for. Anyone who wants a square that is memorable without shouting. The 47 mm lens and 19 mm bridge are a compact-to-medium fit; 148 mm temples. Come in — we will confirm size on your face, not from a photo.
