From among the EYEVAN models created in the early days of the brand, we selected designs that symbolize the brand and strived to be as faithful as possible to the details of the time. Existing documents and actual frames were carefully examined to recreate the unique appearance of eyewear from the past down to the smallest detail.

The colors available are primarily those that were available at the time. Due to differences in production background, there were many tortoiseshell patterns with subtle variations in nuance that are now discontinued. As it is difficult to reproduce such materials in current products, this collection has been reproduced in cooperation with acetate material manufacturers from that time.

We have also faithfully reproduced the atmosphere of the time with the plating used on the metal frames, particularly the antique plating. The unique black texture has long been restricted for use due to its adverse effects on the human body and high defect rate, but modern Japanese technology has ensured high durability while minimizing its adverse effects on the human body. We have completed an antique plating that faithfully reproduces the texture of the time.

Since its establishment in 1972, EYEVAN has made great strides as a brand that combines fashion and functionality, inspired by the vintage eyewear collected by its founder from all over the world.
The high-quality products produced by eyeglass artisans in Sabae, Fukui Prefecture, began to attract worldwide attention in the mid-1980s, and EYEVAN Inc. eventually became an OEM supplier to numerous overseas brands.
When EYEVAN was founded, the global eyewear market was dominated by European manufacturers, and Japanese-made eyewear was still unknown.
However, EYEVAN eyewear, which is based on beautiful handmade vintage eyewear produced around the world and combines the aesthetic sense of artisans with the high quality of industrial products, presents new value in Japanese-made eyewear and spreads its appeal to the world.
The reputation and trust built in this way has been passed down continuousｌｙ to the present day.
EYEVAN's pioneering spirit, which has created new values and even changed the trends of the times, has been passed down to the current design team.
In today's world where trends and values are constantly being updated and consumed, the eyewear created by the original design team is a "origin" to which we can return.
The "HISTORIC COLLECTION" is a self-homage collection that takes a fresh look at EYEVAN's history and pays utmost respect to our predecessors.

The new visuals created for the "HISTORIC COLLECTION" visually express the history of EYEVAN and the respect for its predecessors who have been involved in its manufacturing.
In the mid-1980s, an American brand for which EYEVAN was doing OEM production at the time produced an advertising visual was full of humor and flair, depicting a group of dwarfs working together to make eyeglasses.
The clarity that instantly conveys it as eyewear advertising, the strong commitment to craftsmanship, and the high graphic quality remain timeless.
It stands as one of the iconic advertisements that led to the brand’s subsequent global growth.
The visuals for this “HISTORIC COLLECTION” have message that also conveys our utmost respect and gratitude to the founders of the American brand, who have built a partnership with EYEVAN's original design team over many years, fostering a family-like relationship that transcends borders.
