Sabae, the Cradle of Japanese Eyewear Excellence

Nestled in the heart of Fukui Prefecture, Sabae is globally recognized as the birthplace of Japanese eyewear craftsmanship. For over a century, this region has been shaping exceptional frames that blend tradition, innovation, and precision.

It is in Sabae where many groundbreaking advances in eyewear have taken place, including the pioneering use of titanium in frame manufacturing, offering unmatched lightness and durability. Each pair of glasses made in Sabae undergoes a meticulous process involving over 200 steps, carried out by highly skilled artisans.

The local craftsmanship is built upon a heritage passed down through generations, where attention to detail, the quality of materials, and aesthetic demand are at the heart of each creation. Thanks to this expertise, frames made in Sabae stand out for their comfort, durability, and timeless elegance.

At Paris Miki Opéra, we are proud to showcase this Japanese excellence through a selection of iconic brands, such as Digna Classic, Paris Miki Eyewear, Masunaga, Eyevan, and Ayame, all true representations of this exceptional craftsmanship.

Discover the unique heritage of Sabae through our collections, where each frame tells a story of craftsmanship and innovation.
