Native Ken is a NYC-based premium eyewear maker that pairs distinct New York design sensibility with optical expertise. The brand's name, which nods to “ken” as one's range of sight and knowledge, reflects its mission: to expand not just what you see, but how you see it. The result is a collection of luxury optical frames and sunglasses inspired by timeless mid-century silhouettes. Native Ken eyewear blends classic lines and modern practicality and is about finding that sweet spot where style and comfort actually enhance your daily life.

New York Designed Eyewear

Native Ken was founded in 2010 by Christos Tsiplakos and his elder brother, who had a vision of offering a personalized approach to eyewear, merging fashion and vision care. Launched during a recession, the business not only survived but thrived – proof that their designs and quality have serious staying power. The founder, Christos Tsiplakos, brings real optical industry experience, having worked directly with optometrists. This means Native Ken glasses provide the medical precision, all-day comfort, and the style sophistication you want.

What Sets Native Ken Glasses Apart?

  • Exclusive NYC-Designed Collections. Native Ken sunglasses and optical frames combine retro aesthetics and modern-day urban charm. These elegant yet dynamic frame designs capture the essence of the New York city vibe.
  • Durability & Comfort. Native Ken frames are made using Mazzucchelli acetate and titanium. These are lightweight yet durable materials that make the frames incredibly comfortable to wear while keeping them structurally sound. Some collections feature durable and eco-friendly wood-acetate build. The eyewear features 5-barrel or 7-barrel hinges that ensure premium build quality and longevity.
  • Advanced Lens Technology. Native Ken produces lenses in New York using cutting-edge technology. All lenses are digitally optimized to provide crisp, distortion-free vision. Native Ken sunglasses come with polarized lenses that reduce glare and protect your eyes from harmful UV rays.
