References: auralee.jp
The AURALEE x EYEVAN SS26 Sunglasses Collection is a focused eyewear release developed by Ryota Iwai with production oversight from Hirotaka Nakagawa of EYEVAN. The range consists of two core styles, 002R and 003, each defined by distinct material approaches and construction methods. The 002R uses a thicker acetate frame with a more substantial profile, while the 003 introduces a lighter metal structure with a reduced visual weight. Both designs follow a restrained approach, limiting unnecessary detailing and maintaining a clear emphasis on proportion and finish.
Each model is offered in two colourways, including dark brown and black for the acetate version, and antique gold and antique silver for the metal frame. Production is rooted in Japanese manufacturing processes, with attention placed on precision assembly and material quality. The collection is scheduled for release on April 17, 2026
