Discover the soul of artisanal eyewear with the Vakay Altus V1, a frame that marries raw natural elements with contemporary Mediterranean design. Vakay is world-renowned for its mastery of woodworking, treating every pair of glasses as a unique sculpture. The Vakay Altus V1 is the perfect embodiment of this philosophy, designed for the individual who values sustainable luxury and the distinct tactile feel of handcrafted materials.
The visual identity of the Vakay Altus V1 is defined by its stunning dual-material construction. The frame features a high-gloss Black front made from premium Italian acetate, providing a sharp and versatile look. This sleek Acetate Square shape offers a bold, architectural silhouette that adds a sense of structure and modern edge to the face. The dark, polished Black front acts as a sophisticated anchor for the true centerpiece of the frame: the brown wooden temples. These temples are hand-carved from ethically sourced wood, showcasing natural grain patterns that ensure no two pairs are exactly alike. The warmth of the brown wooden temples creates a beautiful organic contrast against the industrial black frame.
Functionality meets aesthetic brilliance through the inclusion of a high-performance grey lense. This solid grey lense is engineered to provide true color perception while offering category 3 sun protection, making it ideal for the vibrant, sun-drenched streets of Mumbai. The neutral tint of the grey lense complements the earth-toned brown wooden temples, resulting in a cohesive and timeless palette. As a bold Acetate Square shape, the Altus V1 provides excellent coverage, protecting your eyes with style whether you are on a coastal getaway or navigating the urban jungle.
With a 52 mm lens size and a generous 23 mm bridge, the Vakay Altus V1 is designed for a substantial and comfortable fit. The 150 mm temples provide extra stability, ensuring the lightweight wooden architecture sits perfectly. Every pair is a testament to slow fashion, requiring hours of hand-finishing to achieve its signature smooth texture.
