Salt. Atomic

SALT. Atomic is a late-80s / early-90s Southern California wrap, rebuilt for the 20th Anniversary collection: streamlined, a little surf, no plastic-costume weight. Custom Japanese acetates, interior matting, stopper hinges, a 20th-anniversary plaque, and 6-base polarized CR-39. Limited production, not a fashion-week one-off we cannot adjust.

SALT. lists 24K gold-plated hinges and core wires, gold functional rivets, and custom temple-tip etching. Designed in California. Exclusively handcrafted in Japan. $650.

Who it’s for. Anyone who wants a statement wrap that is still a real sunglass. 53 mm eye, 18 mm bridge, shorter 130 mm temples, 40 mm depth. Try it on — wrap fit is not guessable from a product shot.
