Brand

TART_OPTICAL_ARNEL_LOGO

Tart Optical, established in New York in 1948, began as a small optical shop. However, it consistently maintained unmatched quality.

As a result of this tireless effort, it became an industry legend and continues to be talked about today.

In homage to this legend, the original "TART OPTICAL ARNEL" has now been revived in Japan, thanks to the craftsmanship of Sabae, with the aim of bringing back its distinct style.

Through handmade production in Sabae, Japan, we inherit the spirit of manufacturing from that era, faithfully recreating the products that were used back then.

Please experience the true essence, comfort, and timeless sophisticated design of the revived TART OPTICAL ARNEL®.
