MANKIND has returned after its recent collaboration with OKO Eyewear in 2021, now bringing its very own debut eyewear collection. The range comprises the keyhole-shaped ‘SOILE’ frames, which are square-shaped and slightly thicker than the average frame; the ‘SOYAL’ frames, which are a modern twist on a classic frame silhouette; and the ‘LAGUNA,’ a wide frame with a thinner lens style.
The collection is hand-constructed in Bandung, using solid acetate for premium quality and effortless style. Each frame comes with a floral motif on either side of the temple, while the glasses themselves came to be through extensive research on shapes and materials. MANKIND’s debut eyewear collection is now fully stocked on the brand’s website.
