Casinola x Native Sons “The E’s” (The Eddie)

The Casinola x Native Sons “The E’s” (also known as “The Eddie”) is a bold reimagining of the classic Wellington eyewear shape. Named for Casinola founder Eddie Cruz, this frame blends clean lines, sculpted acetate, and refined details for a look that is strong yet wearable. Every element reflects care and craftsmanship, from the dipped nose bridge to the custom hardware, creating a frame that is both stylish and functional.

Handmade in Sabae, Japan, “The E’s” sunglass is crafted from 8 mm Takiron acetate, prized for its rich color and lightweight comfort. Gold-plated, diamond-tooled core wire and hex rivets add refinement, while custom scooped arrow hinges with star-nut tension control ensure a secure fit. Matching acetate nose pads maintain a seamless look.

Completing the frame are UV-protected sun lenses by Shima Optics Japan, providing clear vision and lasting protection. “The E’s” is more than eyewear; it is a tribute to Eddie Cruz and a statement of design, performance, and heritage—a piece that speaks to design purists and streetwear insiders alike.
