MADE IN JAPAN
For over 20 years, Shane and Kevin have provided numerous pairs of eyewear
for films and television productions across different eras and countries.
Drawing on their knowledge and passion, they founded
the Los Angeles-based eyewear brand
"GRIMECAKE".
Its historic first model is based on the 1960s
vintage frame
loved by Kurt Cobain.
"JOY"
Rooted in the Japanese OEM frames that circulated in America at the time,
this pair was brought back to life not as a mere homage,
but with a near-obsessive approach to a
"complete reproduction".
Blueprints were created from original deadstock,
and the manufacturing methods and philosophy of the time were reproduced
down to the material, rivets, and component configuration.
The perfect placement of the bold horn-rimmed frame and rivets
was impossible with modern off-the-shelf parts.
Because the rivets could not be set in the same positions as the original
using current 7-barrel construction,
the 7-barrel hinges themselves were re-engineered from scratch.
Only by going this far can it truly become "JOY".
A sharp front line that eliminates the characteristic thickness of cellulose acetate,
paired with substantial, straight temples.
The balance and tension unique to the 1960s,
felt the moment you put them on, is an atmosphere only the real thing can possess.
True to the original,
the quality was pursued thoroughly through handmade production in Japan.
Refusing to compromise, after repeated revisions and remakes,
six prototype samples, and five years,
it is finally complete.
【About Maintenance】
This product is made with high-quality cellulose acetate.
When the surface luster has mellowed after years of use,
it can regain its fresh, new-like shine as many times as you like
by having the glasses polished at an optical shop.
Please enjoy the pleasure of nurturing them into vintage pieces for years to come.
