Artisanal "Frame-Within-a-Frame" Wayfarer The SPENCE is a definitive example of Blake Kuwahara’s "artful yet wearable" design philosophy. It utilizes a proprietary, labor-intensive lamination process that seamlessly fuses two separate acetate frames together. The result is a bold, chunky wayfarer silhouette with an inner frame encased in a contrasting outer shape, creating a design tension that is both thoroughly modern and comfortably familiar.
Technical Craftsmanship & Material Details
Handmade in Japan: Each frame is meticulously produced in Japan, utilizing complex engineering and extensive handwork to achieve a seamless fusion of silhouettes.
Proprietary Lamination Process: The SPENCE features a "frame-within-a-frame" construction, where a richly colored or patterned inner acetate block is encased within a crystalline or solid outer chassis.
Premium Italian & Japanese Acetates: Sculpted from high-grade cellulose acetates, chosen for their soulful, tactile quality and ability to hold intricate, nature-inspired colorways.
Sculpted Architectural Presence: The frame is defined by a thick, sculpted profile and a straight brow line, providing a clean and confident look that catches the light through its multi-layered contours.
Fit & Ergonomics
Chunky Wayfarer Silhouette: With a 53mm lens width, the SPENCE offers a bold, "bulky" fit that exudes authority. It is an ideal choice for those who want their eyewear to be a primary style statement.
Extended 155mm Temples: The longer temple length is designed to provide a secure and stable fit for a variety of head shapes, ensuring the frame remains properly aligned without slipping.
Versatile Proportions: The 21mm bridge is engineered to sit comfortably on most bridge shapes, providing a balanced feel despite the frame’s substantial weight and presence.
Optical & Sun Ready: The stable lens orbits are designed to be fitted with high-quality prescription lenses or premium CR39 sun lenses with 100% UV protection.

Expert Note The SPENCE is a "power frame" that works exceptionally well for round, oval, and larger face shapes.
