Pantone itself reflects an invitation to see everything in a broad and different perspective through the classic blue color.

However, this eyewear brand, which already has 25 outlets in Jakarta, Depok, Bekasi, Tangerang, Bandung, Surabaya, and Makassar, still prioritizes sizes that are suitable for various shapes, as well as face sizes.
