About
Founded by Christopher Esposito, an American engineer and research scientist who found his calling in Japan, Say-oH emerged from a desire to reconnect the creator with the user. Disenchanted with mass production, Esposito envisioned a brand where design and craftsmanship coalesce seamlessly, allowing artisans to infuse their spirit into every piece.
Say-oH's philosophy centers on creating eyewear that doesn't just serve a function but tells a story. By embracing the imperfections and nuances of handcrafted work, the brand offers frames that are both aesthetically pleasing and deeply personal, inviting wearers to experience a unique connection with their eyewear.
Design & Craftsmanship
At the heart of Say-oH's creations lies an unwavering commitment to meticulous craftsmanship. Each frame is handcrafted in a dedicated workshop in Sanjō, Japan, where artisans oversee the entire process—from design conception to the final polish. This holistic approach ensures that every piece reflects the brand's dedication to quality and detail.
Utilizing premium materials such as Japanese and Italian acetate, titanium, and Damascus steel, Say-oH frames are both durable and distinctive. The integration of traditional techniques with modern design elements results in eyewear that is not only functional but also a testament to the artistry involved in its creation.
History
The inception of Say-oH is rooted in Esposito's transformative journey in Japan. What began as a temporary assignment evolved into a lifelong passion for Japanese craftsmanship and design. Collaborating with a diverse group of artisans—including opticians, die makers, silversmiths, and designers—Esposito established a brand that values the integrity of the creative process.
Since its establishment in 2016, Say-oH has remained steadfast in its mission to produce eyewear that transcends fleeting trends. By fostering an environment where creativity and craftsmanship thrive, the brand continues to offer pieces that resonate with authenticity and timeless appeal.
