Native Ken Eyewear: Handcrafted Vision from New York’s Urban Soul

Native Ken eyewear

Native Ken is much more than merely an eyewear brand. It is a reflection of New York's self-assuredness, diversity, and unapologetic originality. Native Ken was created by optical experts and creative designers after establishing Manhattan as their base and who wanted to join together craftsmanship, fashion, and individuality. Every single frame finds its genesis in New York City's energetic streets, architecture, and the people that bring its pulsating life.

From the very beginning, the end goal was quite clear: to produce eyewear that feels personal, not mass-manufactured. Native Ken designs speak to those who conceive their glasses as part of their identity-expressions and not mere necessities. Even from a walk down SoHo or a sit in a Brooklyn coffee shop, the frames suddenly assert their bold look and understated quality.

Craftsmanship that Speaks of Quality

Native Ken eyeglasses and sunglasses exhibit an obsession with detail. Each pair is crafted by skilled artisans in Japan and Italy, in two widely recognized eyewear-making centers. It's a guarantee that all eyewear is designed for maximum comfort, durability, and precision.
