a RAPP in time…

Wednesday, May 30th, 2012

Well known Canadian eyewear company Rapp from Toronto has switched up their look with a new-new “arm” design!

This new round shape reminds us of someone… named for a certain Wim, no?

Though veering away from their previous duality of raw titanium & unpolished plastic, you can still see the original temple at the core near the bend. This keeps the Rapp look still recognizable without sporting a logo, which to us at bruce is paramount.

Best of all we love how the matte acetate feels when putting them on….

Keep it up Rapp factory!
