Blake Kuwahara Caron Moss

$695.00

Feminine Fluidity with Architectural Precision

The Caron is defined by its rounded cat-eye shape and a continuous brow line that gently dips and rises. This creates a smooth visual rhythm that is both soft and confident. Like all Blake Kuwahara frames, it is handcrafted in Japan using a laborious "frame-within-a-frame" lamination technique.

Technical Craftsmanship & Materials

  • Dual-Layer Lamination: The inner Moss green silhouette and outer frame are milled separately and bonded through a high-pressure lamination process. This is followed by a six-month curing period to ensure a permanent, seamless bond.

  • Premium Japanese Acetate: Hand-assembled in Japan using high-crystalline acetate. The Moss pigment is a sophisticated, muted green that interacts with the translucent outer layer to provide 3D visual depth.

  • 45-Degree Mitered Joinery: Borrowing from fine furniture design, the temples and front meet at a precise 45-degree angle. This "hidden-joint" technique allows the Moss colorway to flow uninterrupted from the face into the arms.

  • Reinforced Multi-Barrel Hinges: Outfitted with custom German-engineered hinges secured with nylon-coated stainless steel screws to maintain long-term tension and prevent loosening.

Fit & Comfort Details

  • Anatomic High-Pad Bridge: Features an integrated 21mm bridge with built-up acetate pads. This provides superior "lift," making it a comfortable "universal fit" that prevents the frame from resting on the cheeks.

  • Weighted Ballast Temple Tips: The tips are reinforced with extra acetate to act as a functional counterweight, shifting the center of gravity back toward the ears to ensure a balanced, secure fit.

  • Hand-Finished Luster: Every frame undergoes an extensive tumbling and hand-polishing process in Japan, resulting in a glass-like finish that is tactilely soft.

Technical Dimensions

  • Model: Caron (Color: Moss)

  • Lens Width: 49mm

  • Bridge Width: 21mm

  • Temple Length: 140mm

  • Shape: Rounded Cat-Eye / Oval

  • Manufacturing: Handcrafted in Japan

Expert Note

Expert Note: The Caron is highly recommended for those who want the visual lift of a cat-eye without the aggressive "sharpness" often found in the style. Its 49mm lens width makes it an excellent choice for small to medium face shapes. The Moss colorway acts as a "new neutral," offering a richer, more organic alternative to black or tortoise that complements a wide range of skin tones.
