Salt. Tory

SALT. Tory is the Kurosawa cat-eye: Japanese acetate, functional rivet hinges, polarized CR-39 already in the chassis. SALT. writes a frame inspired by Akira Kurosawa’s command of the frame — precise in form, expressive in character, composed to linger. We sell it as a 53 mm acetate cat-eye with a 19 mm bridge, not a wrap.
