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 the 1960s vintage frame
worn by Kurt Cobain,
"JOY".

Rooted in the Japanese OEM frames that circulated in America 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 philosophy of the time were reproduced
down to the material, rivets, and component configuration.

The bold horn-rimmed design and perfect placement of the rivets
were impossible to achieve with modern off-the-shelf parts.
Because the rivets could not be placed in the original positions
using current 7-barrel construction,
the 7-barrel hinges themselves were re-engineered from scratch.
Only by going this far could the "JOY" truly be realized.

A sharp front line that eliminates the characteristic thickness of cellulose acetate,
paired with substantial, straight temples that make their presence felt.
The distinct 1960s sense of balance and tension felt the moment you put them on
is an atmosphere that only the real thing can convey.

True to the original, production is based on handmade craftsmanship in Japan,
with an uncompromising pursuit of quality.
After repeated revisions and remakes,
six prototypes, and five years,
it was finally completed.



【About Maintenance】
This product is made with high-quality cellulose acetate.
After years of use, when the surface luster begins to mellow,
it can be polished at an eyewear store
to restore its fresh, new-like shine time and time again.
Please enjoy the pleasure of caring for it over the years
as it matures into a vintage piece.
