Canadian Fashion Disruptors Combine to Crash Eyewear Market

Two Canadian retailers, Vancouver-based Dutil and Montreal’s Naked & Famous, are combining their passion for design and their attention to detail honed in the premium denim arena to enter the eyewear market. 

The new collections, handcrafted in Sabae, Japan, feature three-colour laminated acetate frames in dark indigo, layered over red-and-white. Shapes are concise, with a subtle vintage feel. Authentic metal rivets pay tribute to vintage denim, bearing the Dutil compass insignia—a symbol of the company’s dedication to time, movement, and direction in its nuanced eyewear designs.

The connections between Dutil’s Eric Dickstein and Naked and Famous (N&F) ’s Brandon Svarc run deep. Both share a passion for Japanese craftsmanship, and both are innovators in the Canadian lifestyle landscape.
