CHROME HEARTS
Established in 1988, Chrome Hearts began as an appreciation for leather riding gear by making pants and jackets for friends and their extended families. Since then, the company has quickly grown into an international luxury lifestyle company, integrating classic designs with the best possible quality. The product line is vast, including distinctive hand-made jewelry in sterling silver, gemstones, platinum, and 22K gold, exquisite clothing in the finest leathers and fabrics, a myriad of accessories and handcrafted furniture made from exotic woods.
Chrome Hearts is geared towards those who can recognize and appreciate the quality craftsmanship put into each and every piece. The company has received the prestigious CFDA award for "Accessories Designer of the Year."
In keeping with the Chrome Hearts tradition, the eyewear collection is without
a doubt one of the most
innovative ever released. Using a multitude of exotic materials and innovative
designs, this luxury lifestyle collection-exclusively designed, manufactured,
and distributed by the Optical Shop of Aspen-more than rivals anything on
the market today.
The standard developmental process for a new eyewear collection is anywhere
from 6 to 7 months. The first
Chrome Hearts eyewear collection required over 19 months of intensive design,
research, and development to insure a flawless product.
No detail or cost was spared in the development of the collection. The extensively detailed tooling required to produce each piece, in addition to the use of many exotic materials, makes the Chrome Hearts collection one of the most expensive eyewear collections ever produced.
Great care was taken in the selection of exotic materials to insure that the eyewear would be a clearly defined extension of the Chrome Hearts design/brand philosophy. Exotic woods, fine leathers, precious stones, and sterling silver decorations were combined with the latest innovations in optical technology, metallurgy, and laser engraving to produce a product worthy of the Chrome Hearts name.
Combining these exotic elements with the finest optical materials brought forth a tremendous challenge for the manufacturers. Even Japanese factories, long considered the masters of luxury optical products, were forced to utilize a worldwide network of specialty sub-contractors to achieve the desired results. Parts were made all over the world; France, Switzerland and Italy, just to name a few.
Since the development of plastic lenses over 40 years ago, there have been few advancements and no significant innovations in high-impact optical polymer development. Most Chrome Hearts sunglasses utilize the NXTT lens. NXTT is lightweight, provides superior impact resistance and superior visual performance.
A magnificent case is required to hold eyewear of this caliber. The leather utilized on the case is of the same high quality used on each Chrome Hearts leather product.
In 2004 the IOFT "Frame of the Year" award was awarded to Optical Shop of Aspen for the Chrome Hearts "Red Riot."
Chrome Hearts eyewear is available at all Chrome Hearts stores as well as in exclusively selected optical boutiques.
