Celluloid glasses were mainstream until the mid-20th century, as they have a deep color and become more familiar with the skin the more they are used. However, because it is unsuitable for mass production and flammable, which requires a lot of work to process, the technology is gradually being lost over time. Feeling that this is a cause for concern in the fashion industry, in 2013, we started the glasses brand <kearny>.

The name of the brand is named after Kearny Street in San Francisco, where designer Fujiki Kumagai used to sleep while working as a second-hand clothing buyer, and it is meant to convey the idea of ​​"the intersection of history and culture." With the desire to preserve for future generations the craftsmanship that supported an era in the eyewear industry, the celluloid parts used in all of the glasses are based on the desire to preserve for future generations the craftsmanship that supported an era in the eyewear industry. Paying homage to the designs that have colored each era, Kumagai pursues a single-minded approach to manufacturing that incorporates what he sees with his eyes and touches with his hands into the product.
