AKONI COLUMBA 56 sunglasses

Akoni's Columba model draws on a timeless West Coast spirit, effortlessly evoking Southern California's legendary laid-back, sun-soaked, surfy, and convertible vibe. But it wasn't enough to simply draw inspiration from moodboards filled with timeless images of the long list of actors, athletes, and artists closely associated with this popular silhouette: Akoni was determined to completely revamp this classic frame, opting for a new, modern and luxurious interpretation that allows for bolder, more substantial lines and an amplified silhouette that feels very much of the modern era while still remaining firmly anchored in an enduring legacy. As always, Akoni's engineering genius is evident in the many small details that stand out upon closer inspection, including custom rivets, branded titanium temple tips, and the brand's striking hinge plate and threaded screw system, designed to ensure lasting wearer comfort. The frames’ three crystal acetate shades, each paired with complementary gold highlights, rely on the luminous beauty of Akoni’s renowned, elegant and smooth premium Japanese acetate to lend a finishing touch of understated luxury.
