Straight out of New Zealand comes Cassius Eyewear. Founder and creative director Jason Ng has a knack for creating original takes on retro classics.

These are so hot!

Edit: Looks like I was a little bit too enthusiastic when I said ‘original’ takes – You Thought We Wouldn’t Notice, a blog that blows the whistle on copy-cats, has called out Cassius on almost directly copying Persol and Cazal.  I still reckon Cassius’s Persol-inspired Pawson are different enough – it’s mainly the bridge that makes them so Persol. Unfortunately, the other two are just like Cazal.
