Celebrating two decades of innovation, Thom Browne reissues the iconic TB-001 eyewear style, now luxuriously plated with 18 karat gold. This special edition, reflecting the brand's American nostalgia, is limited to 500 pieces globally, available in Thom Browne stores and on thombrowne.com starting October 9. Each piece comes with a hand-numbered certificate and a riveted pebble leather case, echoing the design of the Mr. Thom bag.
Handcrafted in Japan, the TB-001 is made from titanium, known for its lightness and durability. The gold-plated frame is adorned with red, white, and blue tipped temples and perforated side shields that elegantly fold for convenience. The precision-matched custom hinges, Tokyo tortoise browbar, and four-bar etched nose pads accentuate its unique style.
Included are three interchangeable lens options in gold, green, and navy, made from silica, sand, and limestone, ensuring exceptional optical performance and scratch resistance. This collector's item seamlessly blends traditional craftsmanship with modern technology, making it a prized possession for aficionados.
Thom Browne's reimagined TB-001 is more than just eyewear; it's a testament to the brand's commitment to pushing the limits of classic design, recontextualizing utilitarian eyewear from the early 20th century into a modern statement piece.
