Bruno Chaussignand is one of our favourite eyewear designers. Bruno, his wife Marina, and their team reside in the South of France, where they design and handcraft their frames. Bruno and Marina have been excited to support Together Again Eyewear since our conception.

Masunaga has been shaping the art of eyewear in Japan since 1905, one of the world’s very first eyewear factories. At Together Again Eyewear, we love sharing their frames with our clients—each one handmade in Fukui by artisans who blend generations of traditional craftsmanship with precise modern techniques. Inspired by Japan’s refined minimalism, architecture, and attention to detail, Masunaga creates eyewear that is timeless, elegant, and effortlessly expressive. Every pair we bring into the shop reflects a legacy of care and craftsmanship, offering our community pieces that feel as personal and enduring as they are beautifully designed.

We’re proud to carry LAPIMA, an independent Brazilian brand known for its bold, sculptural eyewear and easygoing glam aesthetic. Founded by Gisela and Gustavo Assis, each frame is made-to-order at their atelier in Campinas, São Paulo. Inspired by Brazil’s natural landscapes, architecture, and vibrant culture, LAPIMA blends artisanal craftsmanship with modern technology in a process that spans over 30 meticulous steps. The result is truly unique eyewear that feels as refined and expressive as it looks.

At Together Again, we’ve found that Blake Kuwahara’s collections really resonate with people who appreciate bold design that still feels effortless. Blake offers two main collections, each featuring a thoughtful mix of acetate, metal, and combination frames.

TAVAT has many capsule collections under their umbrella that each represent a unique facet of their brand identity. We see the TAVAT wearer as a thinker, a maker, a challenger. The TAVAT wearer sees beyond the surface and creates from instinct. Drawn to detail, driven by curiosity, they question what’s given and reimagine what’s possible. Eyewear isn’t just function—it’s expression. A gentle steampunk energy for the quietly bold and intentionally different.

LAPIMA takes into account reducing the waste of excess materials as much as possible, which is why wholesale orders are produced on demand and internal production procedures are frequently improved so that less material is discarded.

At Together Again Eyewear, we believe that eyewear is not only a functional medical device, but also an extension of one’s personality and style. We have met so many cool people who have discovered their next pair of cool glasses or sunglasses. Here are some photos of them looking awesome. Hopefully they inspire you like they inspire us!

Masunaga is proud to say that their approach to sustainability is about creating products that stand the test of time both in style and in function. This philosophy helps reduce waste and promotes a more sustainable consumption pattern in the eyewear industry.

For the last two years, Bruno and Marina have cut down on their production quantities to reduce waste and they keep their unused stock to a minimum. They often use old acetate stock. 80% of their product is manufactured in France and the factories are within a three-hour radius of their office and their materials are sourced from directly around them. The few materials they bring in from further away come from Germany and Italy which are still pretty close.
