Authentically

Independent

Cardine, meaning “hinge” in Italian, is the foundation of every frame, serving as the essential point of connection. Simple in form yet critical in purpose, it reinforces structure, function and alignment while ensuring the longevity of the eyewear.

Just like our name, we pride ourselves on serving as a key connector - fostering long, meaningful partnerships with our eyecare professionals while delivering a thoughtfully curated portfolio of independent eyewear brands designed in-house. Rooted in quality and innovation and driven by care and support, we are grounded by the belief of being authentically independent in every aspect of our business.

Vintage luxury, reframed through a modern lens. Jerry Perkins evokes a quiet rebellion that recalls a golden era shaped by music, cinema, classic cars, and unconventional style. Produced in small batches, our collection explores the concept of duality - where past and present blur, strength and lightness coexist, and artistry meets innovation. Crafted in Japan with uncompromising precision, each frame was designed to stand alone, for those who seek authenticity beyond the ordinary.
