Indonesian imprint MANKIND introduces its own collection of eyewear silhouettes, marking the first time that it is branching into the realm. The new collection is made up of optical accessories that came into fruition from extensive design research and exploration of different shapes and materials that would suit wearers best.
This resulted in a selection of original frame silhouettes that are ready for any environment and made to optimize the overall vision of wearers. The eyewear is all made by hand using solid acetate in Bandung to ensure that it delivers functional qualities. The leading look is the SOILE frame with a keyhole shape and a square silhouette. It is then followed by the SOYAL and then rounded out by the LAGUNA.
