New this November: Masunaga MOC 007, 008, 009 and two new MOC 003 colourways

MOC, short for Masters of Craft, is Masunaga's first-class eyewear collection: the most demanding frames the Fukui house produces, built with carefully selected materials and techniques reserved for this line alone. From the sharp MOC 001 navigator and the iconic MOC 003 round to the bolder MOC 004, 005 and 006, every model shares the same uncompromising standard: carefully selected materials, sterling silver 925 details and a solid sterling silver MOC medallion on the temple tip, with 5-micron gold plating on 001 to 003.

In November the collection grows again, with three entirely new models, MOC 007, 008 and 009, still kept under wraps by Masunaga, plus two new colourways of MOC 003. Each model is made in a single batch of just 150 pieces worldwide, shared among around 100 retailers, so availability is extremely limited. That is why MOC is not sold through our online shop: frames are available on request only and allocated in the order we receive enquiries.

To reserve yours or be notified first when 007, 008 and 009 are revealed, email us at hello@sunofjapan.com. Taxes and duties are prepaid worldwide.
