Burgundy, Cognac, Tobacco: Autumn's Frame Colors The Season Changes Color Before It Changes Temperature Autumn arrives in the eyewear case earlier than it arrives outdoors.

Burgundy leads. Cognac and amber follow.

The pair you make your own. The OP-366U by O&X New York is an acetate optical frame crafted in Japan and introduced in the Fall/Winter 2026 collection.

羽 Hane - Feather: The Pursuit of True Lightness There is a common assumption in eyewear that strength requires mass. For Fall Winter 2026, KIO YAMATO challenges that assumption with 羽 Hane, the Japanese word for feather. Hane was not chosen simply as a seasonal theme or visual reference. It represents the central engineering philosophy behind the collection: how light can a frame become without compromising its integrity?

More than eyewear. We craft comfort. When was the last time you wore a comfortable pair of glasses? Comfort is often treated as an afterthought in eyewear. A feature mentioned at the end, after shape, color, and material. For KIO YAMATO, comfort begins much earlier. It begins at the drawing table, in the weight of the frame, in the movement of the hinge, and in the way the eyewear settles naturally onto the face.
