SALT., founded in 2006, is an independent lifestyle company that creates premium handcrafted eyewear for individuals with a unique sense of style. The company’s name SALT is short for “saltwater”, a metaphor for the independent spirit and sense of freedom felt after spending time in the ocean. This lifestyle transfers to the brand’s designs. SALT. appreciates simple, timeless design, impeccable quality, useful technology, hand-made craftsmanship and the purest fit. SALT. is modern, yet honors the past, and is driven by a minimal sensibility in all things.
The simple and timeless eyewear designs of SALT. don’t incorporate large logos at the base of the external temples to define the collection. The frames are understated and stand the test of time, much like an independent person’s unique sense of style. SALT. is also dedicatd to quality. All frames are handcrafted in the most exclusive factories in Japan’s Fukui Valley, the heart of Japan’s state of the art optical manufacturing industry.
