SALT. Optics Glasses London

SALT. is a premium eyewear company from the Californian coast. The Salt Optics brand is heavily influenced by nature, hence its name, which is an acronym for Sea, Air, Land, and their Timeless connection. This inspiration is infused beautifully into their products: all of nature’s stunning shapes, details, and colours can be seen throughout the Salt Optics frames.

The company was founded in 2006 by David Rose and Taylor Whisenand, both former Quiksilver surfers, and business partner Ron Smith. David who prior to launching SALT., was the lead designer at Oliver Peoples, designs frames that are influenced by surfing and the active lifestyle it implies.

SALT. frames are entirely handmade in Japan by artisan craftsmen. The company has long-lasting relationships with Japanese manufacturers who still use some of the traditional tools and processes that were used 50 years ago. Attention to detail is paramount and exacting standards are enforced. SALT. eyeglass frames are made with riveted hinges which can be easily adjusted and repaired over time.

The company is committed to using only the most premium, handmade cellulose acetate in the world. The Japanese acetate used is created from cotton seeds and wood pulp, which allows it to be hypoallergenic and sustainable. The company partners with Takiron Rowland, a Japanese acetate factory that’s been producing handmade acetate for the better part of 100 years. In addition, SALT. eyeglasses are crafted using 100% Japanese aerospace-grade titanium which provides an incredible strength to weight ratio, giving even bold frames a featherweight feel.
