Blake Kuwahara Caron Moss
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.
