The depth of acetate color

The material is cellulose acetate from Mazzucchelli, the world's top brand known for stunning acetate. More than half of cell frame glasses made by global fashion brands use Mazzucchelli's acetate sheets.

At present, we usually see petroleum-based resins, but the ancestors of resins were made from plants. Production of synthetic resin was tried to make about 200 years ago, and artificial ivory made from cellulose was invented, which was said to be the world's first resin. Thus, acetate is originally made from plant fiber. It is made from cotton and high-purity pulp, which is the same organic substance as humans. KISSO has a unique technique based on the making of glasses. The brand blends acetate sheets, shaves, and polishes to produce products.

The shell and marble-like colors are all unique and fashionable. The combination of various colors created in such a small form is based on KISSO's exclusive technology.

Where glasses are born

Sabae City, Fukui Prefecture, is the region that produces most of the Japanese eyeglasses. Its quality is highly valued worldwide as it is called Italy for its eyeglass design and Sabae for its technology. Sabae City is home to over 600 manufacturers, parts manufacturers and trading companies, and it is no exaggeration to say that it is a sacred place for Japanese eyeglasses.

KISSO was founded in 1995 in Sabae City, Fukui Prefecture, as a material trading company for eyeglasses. In anticipation of the beginning of production of titanium-based glasses in Sabae City, which was considered difficult at the time, the company quickly established a material supply system and brought eyeglass processing machines from Italy, France, and Germany. KISSO has been an expert in the development and processing of eyeglass materials. Recently, from the deep thought of glasses, KISSO also focuses on manufacturing different forms of products founded on traditional techniques. The brand has the conviction to propose products and ideas with added values.
