TRUE VINTAGE REVIVAL (TVR)

True Vintage Revival (TVR) is a Japanese eyewear brand that embodies a unique dedication to preserving and reviving the authentic craftsmanship of mid-century eyewear. Specializing in hand-crafted frames that are meticulously produced in Sabae, Japan, TVR focuses on traditional Japanese techniques and meticulous craftsmanship. For connoisseurs of vintage eyewear, the brand’s creations represent a perfect blend of classic aesthetics and modern-day quality, each frame crafted with a reverence for heritage and authenticity.

Craftsmanship and Philosophy

TVR prides itself on adhering to the "Sabae 5-barrel hinge design" and the unique 7-point-star hinge pin, elements symbolic of vintage frames that remain stable and durable. Sabae, Japan, is a region renowned globally for eyewear manufacturing, and each TVR frame undergoes a labor-intensive process involving skilled artisans. The use of high-quality Japanese acetate and titanium materials provides both a luxurious feel and long-lasting durability. Furthermore, each pair is polished by hand, giving the frames a distinctive finish that reflects the brand’s commitment to quality.

True Vintage Revival’s artisans also employ old machinery and tooling techniques from the 1950s to maintain authentic vintage styling, honoring traditional methods rather than modernizing their production process. This meticulous approach, known as the "The Great Japanese Eyewear Revival," celebrates the artisanal methods and aesthetic nuances of vintage eyewear, creating an unparalleled experience for those who appreciate historical craftsmanship.

Design and Style

Each TVR model encapsulates a different element of vintage charm, capturing design elements from iconic eyewear styles from the 1920s to the 1960s. The frames range from classic P3 shapes and double-bridge aviators to keyhole nose bridge designs, offering an aesthetic that speaks to timeless elegance and individuality. The brand's frames often feature intricate details, such as rivets, sculpted temples, and carefully angled lenses that convey a vintage flair, with subtle updates for contemporary comfort and fit.

TVR frames are available in limited numbers, emphasizing exclusivity and the artisanal nature of each piece. Their vintage-inspired frames are also crafted with an emphasis on comfort, using materials such as Japanese acetate, which adapts over time to fit the wearer’s facial structure, providing a custom feel that enhances wearability.
