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 landmark first model is
the vintage frame from the 1960s beloved by Kurt Cobain,
"JOY"
Rooted in the Japanese OEM frames
that circulated in the United States at the time,
it was brought back to life not as a mere homage,
but with a near-obsessive approach to a
"complete reproduction".
Blueprints were created from the original deadstock,
and the manufacturing methods and design philosophy of the time
were reproduced down to the material, rivets, and component configuration.
The perfect placement of the bold horn-rimmed front and rivets
was impossible with modern ready-made parts.
Because the rivets could not be set in the same position as the original
using the current 7-barrel structure,
the 7-barrel hinges themselves were re-manufactured from scratch.
Only after going this far did it truly become "JOY".
A sharp front line
free from the characteristic thickness of cellulose acetate,
paired with substantial, thick 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 convey.
True to the original,
production is based on handmade craftsmanship in Japan,
with a relentless pursuit of quality.
Refusing to compromise, through repeated corrections and revisions,
after six prototype samples and five years,
it is finally complete.
【About Maintenance】
This product is made with high-quality cellulose acetate.
After years of use, when the surface luster has mellowed,
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 long-lasting pleasure of watching them mature into a vintage piece.
