Inspired by the change in technology in the early years of vinyl record production, we introduce our Unbreakable collection.

This range reflects the new technology which produced thinner and lighter albums. The eyewear line features thinner rims, a lighter build and the absence of rivets.

The Unbreakable collection features 12 new models in men, women and unisex styles. Available from September 2017.

Major Lazer

The Chainsmokers

Two albums comprise the production run of the Maui Jim x Vinylize Hula Blues Sunglass frame.  

Keymono's 12" Time Capsule and TOLO's 12" Hula Blues. Click here to see frames made with Keymono.

Maui Jim, the leading premium sunglass brand and Vinylize have created a limited-edition sunglass handcrafted from Maui's own first and only 12" pressing of TOLO's Hula Blues.

The Hula Blues sunglass frame fuse Vinylize’s proprietary production with Maui Jim’s patented lenses to introduce the ultimate combination of expression, vision, and style.

Inspired by the original vintage printing of the sheet music booklet for the Hawaiian classic Hula Blues from 1923.

Each Hula Blues frame is handcrafted from Tolo's pressing titled Hula Blues in Vinylize’s Budapest workshops.

Listen to the music on the Hula Blues frame.

This limited-edition frame will only be available in 6,000 pieces through Maui Jim and retailers, starting July 1. 

NVSBLE allowed us to introduce a more subtle look to our designs. The groove texture is present but the heaviness of the black is gone. The surface also appears more uniform. To maximize fit and comfort we cut the rims thinner and sculpted the temples.

For Record Store Day's 10th year anniversary Vinylize is releasing a Keymono Anthology.

Pressed by Pirates Press Czech Republic on 180g clear vinyl, it will be available exclusively through Vinylize and Keymono.

Cut at 45rpm to maximize the sound quality. Here are 4 of the tracks:

A huge portion of the vinyl we recycle is white label and there is a reason for that. We hired Ilosfai Marton to design us an award winning sleeve and label.

Keymono is about nature and the cosmos, so a swimming astronaut seemed natural.

The tracks were mastered for vinyl by Gabor Deutsch. The grooves were cut on DMM. Its how they do it in the Czech Republic. Less hassle than a lacquer and therefore less cost.

Most of these pressings will turn into NVSBLE frames but a lucky few can get a copy at our Budapest Showroom or with any online purchase until May 22 2017.
