In collaboration with master artisans in Sabae, Japan—who have perfected the art of eyewear for over 60 years—we create pieces that are built to last. Each craftsman is supported with fair trade benefits, wages, and respect. With careful maintenance, these enduring designs become heirlooms to be treasured for generations. Every element is custom-crafted exclusively for Esmont, following a precise 300-step process. The 18-month production cycle showcases our dedication to precision and quality.
Esmont eyewear require a material that blends toughness and resilience while remaining lightweight. Titanium offers durability and weighs about one-third less than steel.
The moulding process can take up to 17 presses, each serving a specific purpose in shaping and refining each frame.
We craft our frames using premium Japanese cellulose acetate, a sustainable, plant-derived material that is free from petroleum. It is known for its strength, elegance, and hypoallergenic properties, ensuring both durability and comfort.
We craft our ornaments using premium 925 sterling silver or a refined metal alloy finished with a 2-micron layer of gold.
Experienced artisans in Sabae, Japan, average 55+ years, bringing decades of craftsmanship and expertise to every frame.
