Carved from a single polished horn plate. No two pairs share the same grain. Twelve-week lead time. Hand-finished in the studio and dimensioned to the wearer at fitting.
Every Aubergine is dimensioned to the wearer at the second sitting. The figures here describe the base draft, before fitting.
The first Aubergine was cut for a client who, in the studio's notes, refused a frame that looked like anyone else's. We built the opposite of what he'd worn before.
The result favours the round line the studio keeps returning to: heavier where the eye expects weight, and light everywhere the skin meets the frame. It is cut in buffalo horn, 24g finished, and fitted with a pinned horn hinge.
