The Leisure Society Kendall is an optical frame handcrafted in Japan from pure block titanium and cotton-based acetate. Designed by California CFDA member Shane Baum, each frame is sculpted from solid block titanium, hand-polished like fine jewelry, individually numbered, and finished with jewelry-grade PVD ion-plating in 12k, 18k, or 24k gold. Available at Visionary Optics' three NYC locations or online with same-day ZEISS prescription lenses.
Named after the esteemed pianist and artist Dudley Kendall, a cherished patron of The Ahwahnee Hotel in Yosemite Valley, this frame features a subtle cat-eye silhouette, distinguished by its soft curves and thin profile. It exemplifies a refined feminine aesthetic, crafted from cotton-based acetate for the front and adorned with gold-plated beta-titanium temples, merging elegance with enduring quality.
