Handcrafted sculptural eyewear shaped through poetic craft and material alchemy

RIGARDS is an independent eyewear maison founded in Hong Kong, renowned for its poetic approach to form, texture, and material transformation. Working in small batches, the brand’s artisans handcraft frames from unexpected materials — including horn, copper, aluminum-magnesium alloys, and recycled metals — each piece shaped through slow, traditional processes that highlight irregularity and tactile depth. Distinctive patinas, hand-brushed finishes, sculptural temples, and asymmetrical volumes give the eyewear an organic, almost time-worn presence.

RIGARDS frequently collaborates with designers such as Ziggy Chen and Uma Wang, creating limited-edition frames that echo their textile languages and atmospheric silhouettes. More than accessories, RIGARDS frames feel like wearable artifacts: intimate, soulful objects connecting ancient craft with avant-garde expression.
