​
Why Choose Blake Kuwahara?
​
-
Unique Designs: Blake Kuwahara designs are known for their inner silhouette encased in an unexpectedly fresh outer shape. This seamless fusion of two frames and the juxtaposition of contrasting form and color create a design tension that is thoroughly modern yet comfortably familiar.
-
Quality Craftsmanship: Each frame is an individual feat of engineering. The inner and outer silhouettes are milled as separate pieces and go through an arduous, two-month, proprietary lamination process. An additional six months is required to mill, polish, and produce each frame.
-
Personalized Experience: At Aperture Optix, our knowledgeable team will help you find the ideal fit and style that complements your look. ​
Aperture Optix Optometric is proud to offer Blake Kuwahara Eyewear, eyewear that reflects a soulful, tactile, and artful sensibility. These frames feel as good in the hand as they do on your face.
