Salt. History and Eyewear Strategy

Founded in 2006 by David Rose and Taylor Whisenand, Salt transforms the California coastal beauty into cool upscale eye and sunglasses. Salt. Eyewear is handcrafted to the highest specifications by Japanese artisans using solely the finest materials available, from handmade cellulose acetate to Japanese aerospace grade titanium. Their acetate is produced from cotton seeds and wood pulp, which allows it to be hypoallergenic and sustainable. SALT. Aerospace grade Japanese titanium provides an impressive strength to weight ratio, giving even bold frames a featherweight feel. Our titanium is hypoallergenic and is engineered to support perfect optics.

 

 Each SALT. Frame utilizes functional pins, riveted hinges, and specific thickness transitions that guaranty your frames can be adjusted and repaired over time, providing the perfect fit for decades to come. The high-quality construction is not solely about beauty and luxurious finishes, it’s also about durability. It is eyewear that is made to last and will stand up to the rigors of a life well lived.

Each piece of SALT. Eyewear is designed with an understanding of prescription lens surfacing, providing the highest optical experience to the wearer. The proprietary lens offering of SALT. utilizes the most advanced coatings, filters, and optics to create an optimized viewing field. Incorporating a depth of knowledge of how the human brain interprets visual information taken in by the eye, SALT. has engineered lenses that deliver the perfect balance of color, contrast, and light transmission.

Working with the highest optical grade glass and cr-39 materials, SALT. Superior polar lenses channel reflected light, eliminating glare, and optimizing the viewing field.  Salt. Wellness anti-reflective coating greatly reduces the amount of reflected light, protecting your eyes and skin in any light condition.
