Minimalist Scandinavian eyewear brand CHIMI and French-Japanese label Maison Kitsunéhave partnered on a co-branded eyewear collection that features various shades and styles. The eyewear collection was inspired by Maison Kitsuné’s Fox logo, shaped like a mythical fox with a troublemaker personality. The collection is also partly made as a spring-themed eyewear range.
There are two different eyewear models in the collaborative collection. The first is called Shield, and features a racing-inspired design with frameless mirrored mono-lenses for a wide field of coverage. The eyewear also comes in a stainless steel core with acetate temples in black and white colorways. There is also the Maison Kitsuné logo on the center of the eyewear. The second is called Square, which contains a box-like structural frame. It is handcrafted in Italian acetate in a lush green frame with a gradient blue lens and a clear frame with an orange lens. The collection is available for $170.
