New brand Westy Sunglasses enters the market with a unique collection designed for both collectors and enthusiasts, emphasizing quality craftsmanship and stylish design.
San Francisco has welcomed a new entrant in the eyewear market with the launch of Westy Sunglasses, a brand dedicated to combining timeless style with innovative design. The brand’s inaugural line, known as the King collection, aims to create a standout piece for both collectors and everyday enthusiasts of fashionable eyewear.
The founder, Harrison Westwater, developed a passion for sunglasses during his childhood, an interest that later transformed into a collection of vintage eyewear pieces once owned by iconic figures such as Steve McQueen. Westwater expressed a notable dissatisfaction with the current offerings from large eyewear companies, stating, “As a long-time collector, I noticed that major eyewear companies had stopped developing original innovative sunglasses, so I set out to design something new, the apex of craftsmanship and style.” With the King collection, he hopes to appeal to individuals who appreciate the artistry involved in high-quality eyewear.
Crafted by master artisans in Osaka, Japan, the Westy Sunglasses promise a high standard of quality, employing premium titanium and meticulous attention to detail. The lenses, developed in partnership with Maximus Optic, incorporate proprietary technology that surpasses U.S. and European safety and durability standards. Taking a decade to perfect, these advanced polarized lenses not only enhance visual clarity and minimize glare but also provide complete UV protection. As a result, they offer wearers a vivid and true-to-life visual experience, making the world appear as it should.
The King collection is limited to only 600 numbered pairs, each designed with a unique 45-degree gull-wing hinge system that guarantees comfort and an optimal fit. Each pair comes packaged in an exclusive hard case along with a storage pouch and cleaning cloth, enhancing the overall ownership experience.
