A precious metal round from Algha Works, a historic British workshop founded in 1932.


Originally, it was used in medical settings, drug stores, ophthalmologists, etc.
A leading British eyewear company that was provided by the NHS.

Since John Lennon started using it, the Alga brand has spread throughout the world.

This iconic model represents Alga, with a simple, unconventional round metal frame that looks good on anyone and features chestnut-colored cell wrapping that changes its appearance depending on the light.
Size 45 is the best size for Japanese people.

In the 1980s, the company was acquired by American Optical, and in the 1990s it was repurchased by a British company and is now produced under the name SAVIL ROW.

This is an original frame from the 1960s that was ordered by the NHS.

The unique details of this time, incorporated into every detail that could become art, establish a timeless charm and accent that will never fade.

Enjoy the most luxurious style possible.


*Light purple (10%) lenses that go well with this frame were installed at a lab in Burbank that produces many sunglasses lenses for movies and television.
When worn, the light intensity is so light that others can see your eyes clearly, making it easy to wear indoors.
The frame is in excellent condition with no signs of deterioration or cell thinning.
The milk-colored nose pads are still in their original condition with no visible discoloration.
This is a beautiful deadstock item that also comes with the original paper sleeve.

The realistic vintage frames that you can feel when you hold them in your hands have an authentic appeal that cannot be achieved by the many copies and replicas on the market.
