Where are Akoni glasses made?
Almost every Akoni frame is made in Japan, handcrafted in collaboration with some of the country's most esteemed artisans using traditional techniques drawn from Japan's broader arts and crafts heritage.
What are Akoni glasses made of?
Akoni frames are crafted from either premium Japanese titanium or Japanese acetate (Zyl), made from renewable wood and cotton; many styles combine both materials for added durability and design detail.
Why is Japanese titanium considered higher quality?
The highest quality titanium is still sourced exclusively from Japan — it's hypoallergenic, roughly as light as aluminum yet twice as strong, and stronger than steel at about half the weight, making it an ideal material for premium eyewear.
Are Akoni glasses worth the price?
The price reflects genuine Japanese manufacturing — hand-finished titanium and extended-process acetate, produced in collaboration with master artisans using techniques like Japanese joinery and Kiriko glasswork.
Can Akoni frames be fitted with prescription lenses?
Yes. Our in-house lens studio fits Akoni optical frames with single vision, progressive, or polarized lenses as needed.
How do I clean and maintain titanium/acetate Akoni frames?
Wipe frames with a soft microfiber cloth and use lukewarm water with mild soap if needed — avoid harsh solvents on the acetate finish. Bring frames in periodically for a professional adjustment and cleaning.
