Salt. Mackenzie 49

SALT. MacKenzie 49 is the soft lifted acetate — a 49 mm optical that follows the face, with a deeper lens so the field of view is actually usable, not a pinched vintage. SALT. writes a soft silhouette designed to follow the natural angles of the face, a feminine lift that works on more than one shape, proprietary Japanese acetate colors you will not find on a house brand. We sell it as a 49 mm acetate optical, not a wrap and not MacKenzie 52.

Japanese acetate, functional rivet hinges, acetate thickness set so the lens is supported rather than stressed. Designed in California. Handcrafted in Japan. Frame $440.

Who it’s for. Anyone who wants a soft lift in acetate, not a wrap. 49 mm eye, 17 mm bridge, 143 mm temples, 41 mm depth. Come in and check the 49 on your face — 52 is a different size. Optical frame; we fill the Rx here.

Shape. Round (optical). Manufacturer tags the shape as round and describes a soft feminine silhouette with a flattering lift and a deeper lens measurement for a larger field of view. Keyhole bridge on the front.

Material. Japanese acetate; functional rivet hinges; Japanese componentry. Specific acetate thickness designed for a proper fit, to reduce stress to the lens, and to keep the optics honest. Japanese acetate for rigidity, durability, lasting adjustments, and high luster.

Origin. Designed in California. 100% made in Japan.
