Oliver Peoples Introduces the Exquisite 'N.05 GOLD LEAF'

Oliver Peoples, a name synonymous with sophisticated eyewear, has just unveiled an exclusive addition to its ONLEY collection: the 'N.05 GOLD LEAF'. This special model embodies the brand's aesthetic through a stunning application of chinkin, a traditional Japanese technique that translates to 'sunken gold'. This artisanal craftsmanship brings forth a unique product that celebrates elegance and intricate details.

A Craftsmanship Like No Other

The 'N.05 GOLD LEAF' is handcrafted in Japan, showcasing a remarkable skillset that has been passed down for generations. The method involves delicately embedding 23-karat gold leaf powder into acetate material, creating a sophisticated palm leaf pattern reminiscent of California's landscape on the inner temple of the frame. This detail, only visible to the wearer, encapsulates the essence of Oliver Peoples' design philosophy: “Known Only to Those Who Recognize It.”

The frame's structure utilizes substantial acetate, ensuring a bold yet refined appearance, while maintaining a clean silhouette from the front. The metal core of the frame features a textured pattern that draws attention, showcasing the brand's commitment to meticulous craftsmanship. This union of strength and elegance makes the eyewear not only functional but also a statement piece worthy of admiration.

Packaging That Speaks of Art

The collection comes nestled in a special case made with Kyoto's Nishijin textiles, highlighting Oliver Peoples’ dedication to incorporating local artistry into their brand. Presented in a lacquered black box inspired by traditional Japanese craftsmanship, it elevates the eyewear into a work of art rather than just a simple accessory.

Available in a sleek black frame paired with light blue lenses, the 'N.05 GOLD LEAF' adapts to various face shapes, ensuring a comfortable fit. The high-quality prescription lenses also feature options like blue light blocking, anti-reflective coatings, and Transitions® lenses, further enhancing their utility and appeal.

A Philosophy Embedded In Design

The 'N.05 GOLD LEAF' perfectly represents the philosophy of Oliver Peoples — “True luxury resides in the details, and elegance is best expressed through subtlety.” This model is set to be available in limited quantities starting September 28, 2025, at Oliver Peoples flagship stores and select optical boutiques, priced at ¥297,300 (tax included).

Exclusive Event on October 4, 2025

For enthusiasts eager to get a closer look, the OBJ Osaka store will host an event on October 4, 2025, featuring the first chance to view the latest collection, including the exclusive 'N.05 GOLD LEAF'. Attendees can witness a live demonstration of the chinkin technique by an artist and enjoy a complimentary engraving service on the inner temples for any eyewear purchased that day.
