HAKUSAN MEGANE
ST TITAN BOSTON" at Hakusan Opticians
The golden ratio of the Boston Shape.
Gold-colored titanium and a Boston shape that could be called the golden ratio. ST TITAN
BOSTON" is a unique pair of glasses from Hakusan Opticians, a company that has transformed glasses from a mere vision correction device into a fashionable item. We have kept in mind the concept of "not over-designing".
The design work that has been made in Japan with "not too much design" in mind is demonstrated without regret. As fans know, John Lennon wore a pair of glasses made by Hakusan Opticians until the last moment of his life when he was killed by a bullet.

The best connoisseurs in the eyeglass industry also give their seal of approval.
Tetsuya Okada of Globespecs, the best connoisseur in the eyeglass industry, gave his stamp of approval to this brand, which was born in Lyon, France, in 2020.

A.D.S.R.
BAZ 03" by ADSR
Rhythmic hexagon.
The silhouette is a hexagonal so-called hexagonal type, but it is smaller and more edgy than the usual type, with a finish rich in intonation. It makes sense when you hear that they believe in designs inspired by music culture. I see why it has a good sense of rhythm. The ultra-thin metal and titanium frames are also a good choice. It accentuates the beauty of the design. A.D.S.R. is a brand launched in 2010 by Mitsuru Kojima, who has built up his career at A.P.C. and Supreme.

Brady.
Brady's "WAVER"
A hidden masterpiece from a prestigious and long-established company.
The design, consisting of a large flap and one shoulder, is reminiscent of the postman bags of yesteryear, but that is because Brady was founded in England in 1887 and is said to have created the prototype for the outdoor bag. The construction of canvas developed for hunting, drill drop, and bridle leather piping looks fresh in this day and age. The compartment has a single slit pocket.

COMME des GARÇON HOMME
Comme des Garçons Homme bag
A 2-way bag with a beautiful silhouette.
I picked up this new item from COMME des GARCONS Hommes, attracted by the hexagonal silhouette that appears when you hold the handle. The decisive factor was the unique pattern of the cotton and nylon grosgrain fabric. The fabric, with its modest luster and firmness, also has a classy appearance. The opening is made with snap buttons. A B4 size document can easily fit in the compartment with a large gusset. There is also a slit pocket. A shoulder strap is also provided.
