CFCL Launches "CFCL EYEWEAR" in Collaboration with 999.9, Known for the Highest Purity of Quality.
On April 10th, CFCL will launch the brandʼs first eyewear line, “CFCL EYEWEAR.” This line will feature the sunglasses presented last September, in the VOL.7 collection during Spring/Summer 2024 Paris Fashion Week. It is manufactured in Sabae, the largest eyewear production area in Japan, in collaboration with the Japanese eyewear brand 999.9 (Four Nines), known for its pursuit of the highest purity of quality.
CFCL EYEWEAR
The sleek, smooth line drawn by the frames of CFCL EYEWEAR overlaps with the impression of CFCL knitwear, which is knitted from a single thread. Minimalist and refined, these practical products also enhance the wearer's character. Backed by 999.9's advanced manufacturing technology in Sabae City, Fukui Prefecture, these eyewear pieces are designed for a contemporary life.
<Details>
In order to achieve a stylish silhouette, the nose pads are removed and the steps on the saddle bridge are reduced to the minimum extent possible. At the same time, this has led to a reduction in the number of parts used. By eliminating the gap between 999.9's iconic feature "Gyaku-R hinge”*1 and the temples, an image of a supple, straight line is expressed. The single line continues to the flowing curves of the temple ends, and the CFCL signature colors and logo are applied to the tips of the line to add an eye- catching point.
<Materials>
The frame material is titanium, which has high strength and flexibility (front: pure titanium and β-titanium, temple: β-titanium). The β-titanium used for the temples has the property of returning to its original shape even when the frame is bent, making it resistant to deformation and lightweight compared to other metals, allowing for long- term wear. Titanium is also resistant to rust, making it durable against sweat during the summer and water, reducing the burden on the skin. Additionally, silicone resin is applied to the saddle bridge and the temple ends to provide a non-slip and stable wearing experience. The engraving of "Technology by 999.9" on the inside of the left temple backs up the technology.
<Lens>
The lenses, featuring a half-mirror*2 coating suitable for wear in any season, have a low curve (2 curves) for a flat surface that brings a sharp and sophisticated look. Lenses that block 99% of ultraviolet rays (UV400) are used, and coatings that resist scratches and water repellency are implemented on both sides. Moreover, an anti-reflective coating is applied to the back surface to prevent glare and reflections from light entering from various directions, offering a comfortable field of vision.
*1 999.9 original part that absorbs and disperses the load applied to the frame to create a comfortable fit.
*2 Two of the four models have a silver mirror coating on the front of the lens.
