BUDDY OPTICAL Suny Glasses Brown Tort/Smoke

About this product

The Buddy Optical SUNY Glasses are a refined expression of Japanese eyewear craftsmanship, handmade in Sabae, Fukui Prefecture – a region globally renowned for its precision and heritage in optical production.

The SUNY model takes its name from the State University of New York and draws inspiration from 1960s Wellington-style frames, characterized by their balanced proportions and timeless appeal. A distinctive keyhole bridge adds both comfort and a subtle vintage detail, enhancing the overall aesthetic.

Crafted from high-quality cellulose acetate, the frame offers durability, flexibility, and a premium feel. This model also marks Buddy Optical’s first acetate frame available in multiple sizes, ensuring a more tailored fit.

The smoke-tinted lenses provide a light filter, making them ideal for overcast or partially sunny conditions, while still allowing enough light for versatile, everyday use – including indoors. The lenses can also be easily replaced to suit personal preferences.

Designed by Gen Ikehara, each pair reflects a careful balance between vintage inspiration and contemporary design, resulting in eyewear that feels both classic and modern.
