Japanese Acetate & Titanium | Handcrafted in Japan

Alpha Akoni Sunglasses

The sunglasses are a uni-sex frame design for both men and women.  The lenses can be made clear, with custom tint, and with or without your prescription. 

Now Available with Photochromic Lenses!

Akoni Eyewear’s new Alpha frame channels the Jazz Age spirit of Fitzgerald’s masterpiece, The Great Gatsby. The Alpha—with its sculpted Japanese Acetate face, branded rivets and new, laminated core temple holding the Akoni logo—riffs on the remarkable rebellion, liberty, and joy of the twenties. These are the frames Nick Carraway might catch the former Jay Gatz slipping on, as he stares at the green light across the bay from his West Egg estate, confident that he has escaped past locations that had been "ferociously indifferent to the drums of his destiny."

All sales are final and we do not offer monetary refunds — many of our pieces are one-of-a-kind or very small production. Eligible items can be returned for store credit: within 3 days of delivery for shipped orders, or 3 days of purchase in store.

About Akoni

Akoni Eyewear sets a new benchmark in precision optical design—where Swiss engineering meets the revered craftsmanship of Japan. Minimalist in form but complex in construction, each frame is a study in balance, proportion, and intent.

Crafted from aerospace-grade titanium and rich Japanese acetate, Akoni’s designs are defined by their refined restraint and technical sophistication. Custom-engineered hinges, modular titanium nose pads, and sculpted temple cores offer superior comfort and structural integrity—details that speak not loudly, but intelligently.

Rooted in a philosophy of quiet power, Akoni Eyewear appeals to thinkers, creatives, and modernists who seek more than ornamentation. These are frames with presence, not flash—pieces that reward close inspection and reflect a deep appreciation for design integrity.

Gazal Eyecare is proud to offer a curated selection of Akoni optical and sun styles, each chosen for its architectural elegance and lasting craftsmanship. As one of the most respected independent eyewear brands today, Akoni delivers luxury Swiss eyewear for those who value precision over trend.

Explore the Akoni collection and experience high-end Japanese-made eyewear with purpose at every angle.
