‘GACKT SUNGLASSES VX-i-17S Injection sunglasses’ come with a bi-color white and black frame, with a design that combines luxury and active style, matching this summers trend. Sunglasses of foreign brands are made to fit the bone structure of American and European people, so they hardly fit on Asians faces well. To fix this problem, GACKT and VARTIX worked together to create ‘GACKT x VARTIX SUNGLASSES’ .
Of course sunglasses have the practical use of protecting the eyes form Ultra-violet radiations, but recently the trend of wearing sunglasses as a fashion item is increasing and the time spent with them on is likely to increase even more aswell, so a particular attention has been given to the necessity of reducing their weight as much as possible so that they don’t produce discomfort while wearing them.
Design features were realized with a particular focus on weight reduction thanks to the frame material made from nylon resin developed by a medical equipment manufacturer in Switzerland, and its excellent performance and durability that prevents changes in its shape due to heat almost completely as two of its main characteristic. The lens are made from polycarbonate, with the ability to block 99% of UV light, along with the unique abilities of being resistant to scratches and impacts.

From here on, Vision-Megane is heading towards the realization of 「The best “look” for each customer」’, and we will strive to enhance our products, improve our customer service levels, and create new value for the eyeglasses industry.
