Vakay

The idea began in November 2012, when Adam, who’s always looking for the latest fashion trends, asked Soulaimen to make him a pair of personalized wooden sunglasses. Soulaimen drew the Linebacker, the first design. Soon enough he started taking requests from friends, family, collegues and acquaintances. People who fell in love from the first sight with the wooden sunglasses. VAKAY was born. Each pair of VAKAY glasses requires hours of painstaking craftsmanship. The handmade eyewear is handled with the utmost love and attention through all the stages of production. Each step requires meticulous care, and the talented artisans are entrusted to carry it out with scrupulous attention to detail. The frames are kept under systematic review from the first phase of wood selection, until they’re released with matching handcrafted holsters. Vakay’s success comes from the diverse backgrounds of its co-founders. This is highlighted whenever the team comes across new challenges, their brainstorming sessions are a playground for them to mix and match their ideas in the most unconventional ways to come up with ingenious solutions. Their unequivocal devotion to deliver distinguished products that people love is the life force of the company.
