California-based eyewear brand Salt has unveiled its first collection of the year titled 'Collection 1 2022.' The new capsule will focus entirely on optical offerings, delivering a range of retro-inspired silhouettes. In addition, shoppers can expect the glasses to come equipped with a variety of premium materials; some frames are built from premium Japanese acetate and others are made from ultra-lightweight titanium.
Standouts in the collection include the titanium Mason and Devon, both of which boast two-tone finishes and a tailored thickness designed to enhance optical quality. Meanwhile, the Jefferson arrives with an old-school keyhole bridge and rivet hinges, lending them a distinctly retro aesthetic. As a whole, the collection draws inspiration from the kind of frames that were commonly worn in the '50s and '60s.
