Salt Sunglasses

David Rose, head of design became passionate about glasses frames and sunglasses after having a successful career as a professional surfer. David looks to Nature’s pure beauty for inspiration. Its rich lustrous colours and natural elements create a refined palette with a hint of fun. He creates versatile and universally wearable eyewear in titanium, acetate and a combination of the two materials.

SALT eyewear was born on the south coast of California in 2006 and launched its first collection of glasses and sunglasses frames in early 2007. Each frame is inspired by nature’s effortless beauty, the SEA, the AIR, the LAND and their TIMELESS connections are the inspirational key components. All of natures beautiful SHAPES, DETAILS and COLOURS are infused in to every frame created . Each frame is unique with its own fingerprint, crafted from the best custom materials and hand finished by Japanese artisans. Simple on the surface, complex in their making, layered with discovery.

Taking cues from the iconic eras of film, architecture, music, and art, as well as from the people and places that make California such a unique destination, SALT sunglasses strive to capture the casual elegance of California’s aspirational lifestyle. But of course, design means more than just great style. It means creating the perfect fit. Something that SALT focuses on through every step in the process—from inspiration, to materials, to construction. The company believes that sunglasses should do more than just look good; they should fit perfectly too. Because high quality construction is not simply about beauty, it’s also about durability and SALT sunglasses will stand up to the rigors of a life well lived.

Recent SALT sunglasses collections are influenced by nautical themes and human connections. Surfboard shaping legend Dan Taylor features in the first of a series dedicated to people that inspire us through their craft and achievements.
