EYEVAN 188 900-G MD.BK Gold Crown-Panto Medium Black Sunglasses 47mm For Sale

Design Ethos: EYEVANLaunched in 1972 in Japan, EYEVAN revolutionized the optical world by changing eyewear from a medical necessity into a high-fashion accessory ("Eyewear for dressing as clothes"). Celebrated for its ultra-meticulous Japanese craftsmanship, EYEVAN utilizes traditional Sabae manufacturing techniques to merge classic American and French vintage aesthetics with minimalist, Eastern engineering.

The 188 is part of EYEVAN's highly technical full-metal collections, highlighting their mastery over microscopic engraving. The core design concept centers around the custom, monogrammed "V.A.N. Pattern"—a multi-sided filigree motif originally hand-engraved into master steel molds by legendary Fukui artisan Mr. Nakamura. This pattern is pressed deeply onto multiple facets of the pure titanium wire chassis, creating an industrial artifact that appears minimalist from a distance but reveals staggering, jewel-like complexity upon close inspection.

Product Details: 188 (47) 800-G MD.BKThe 188 features a highly unique geometric lens shape that sits squarely halfway between a soft French Panto and a sharp, architectural pentagon.

Listing Note: The 47mm lens width paired with a 22mm bridge offers a beautifully proportioned Standard/Medium fit that suits oval, heart, and angular square faces due to its hybrid, pentagonal-panto geometry. The 800-G color profile is an exceptional piece of industrial design—the cold, pristine silver chassis acts as a mirror for the Medium Black lenses, while the microscopic gold hardware pops add an incredibly premium, calculated detail that only high-end Japanese independent eyewear can execute.
