Frame details

AIR S is CARIN's round-square unisex frame, pictured here in translucent brown bio-plastic with thin metallic temples in matching tone. The outline is closer to a soft panto than a hard square, with gently curved sides and flat top/bottom rails. Adjustable silicone nose pads on short metal stems handle the bridge fit.

Handcrafted, down to the details.

CARIN describes its daily eyewear as handcrafted, with refined details and a fit worked out through ergonomic design.

Shaped around the face

CARIN builds its everyday frames for comfort, with a fit tailored to Asian facial features.

Materials picked for daily wear

Titanium for strength at a thin profile, flexible beta titanium in the temples, and acetate and bio-plastic for depth of color.

Balanced for comfort

CARIN balances its frames so they sit evenly on the face, the part you notice after a full day of wear.

Made for every day.

Quiet shapes that work with whatever you put on in the morning.

About CARIN

Seoul, 2014.

CARIN began in Seoul with a simple idea of modern living: comfort and practicality first, and a look that stays natural on the face. Its design identity is still two words, simple and natural.

Today the brand runs a flagship in a renovated building in Seongsu-dong, and has worked with Copenhagen design studio Aspekt Office and fashion label UN3D. Its everyday range is built on three lines: Feather Fit, Balance and Layered.
