Introduced here is a special new product made in Japan. Its name is "Oliver Peoples TAKUMI".
The word "TAKUMI" used in the name of the company means "Takumi" in Japanese, which is also a word for "craftsman. Oliver Peoples has long been interested in Japanese eyeglasses, including those made in Sabae, Fukui Prefecture, and has wondered what it might eventually be able to do about it.
The "Oliver Peoples TAKUMI" lineup, born out of this trend, includes two models of glasses, one model of sunglasses, and one model of clip-on (sunglass clip). The most distinctive feature of the lineup is its intricate design. As you can see if you look closely, all the models are finely decorated with three-dimensional diamond and dot patterns created by "gold and silver wire craftsmanship," a craftsmanship that is clearly different from ordinary eyewear. The result is clearly different from ordinary eyewear.
Another key point is that the material used is titanium, a material that feels good on the skin and is lightweight. Let's take a look at them one by one.

In addition, the campaign movie that was shot especially for this campaign is quite elaborate. The film was shot at the Walker residence in California, where Oliver Peoples was founded. This building was designed by Frank Lloyd Wright, who is known to be pro-Japanese, and the Japanese atmosphere that can be felt here and there is well blended with the world view of "Oliver Peoples TAKUMI".
