Shades of Toronto

Nirvan Javan has drawn on the diversity and strength of Toronto to inspire its latest collection, which is handcrafted in Japan from Japanese acetate. Thus, the Canadian city's motto Diversity, our strength is engraved on the frames. The photochromic lenses adapt to any light in a cloudy city. The designer's signature can be discovered not only in the design, but running across the temple inlays.
