AYA Optical Iris

Embrace Your Inner Iris with AYA Eyewear’s Bold New Frames!

Crafted from luxurious acetate, “Iris” honours Ms. Apfel’s bold style with distinctive round frames. A visionary, she saw the world uniquely, embracing maximalism and dramatic specs. Her motto: “More is more, and less is a bore.” These frames, featuring Corrine Hunt’s gold heron motif, blend fashion and Indigenous art.

About AYA Optical:

Celebrate Indigenous Art with Us!

We believe that art is transformative, and that eyewear can be the canvas to share stories and art from around the world. AYA Eyewear was first launched in 2009 in collaboration with renowned First Nations Artist Corrine Hunt and has continued to flourish and grow every year. 

We are committed to the details and realize that beautiful design takes time, precision, and attention, so we don’t cut corners. We stand by our product. We treat our artists as our partners and make sure that their stories and art are always shared in the most heartfelt authentic way.

We take pride in our service and seek opportunities to give back to the communities we serve and the artist’s charities of choice.

AYA Eyewear is truly a brand that stands out from the crowd and is loved by Indigenous and non-Indigenous communities alike.
