Salt. Ventura

SALT. Ventura is the 1970s acetate aviator: Japanese acetate, functional rivet hinges, polarized optical-grade glass already in the chassis. SALT. writes the acetate aviators of the 1970s — soft lines and exaggerated style, with an emphasis on optics, and thickness transitions so the frame can carry a prescription without transferring stress to the lens. We sell it as a 57 mm acetate aviator with a 19 mm bridge, not a wrap.

Japanese acetate, functional rivet hinges, polarized optical-grade glass and CR-39, plus AR, hydrophobic, and oleophobic coatings. Designed in California. Handcrafted in Japan. $490.
