acekearny is a derivative collection launched in 2022, belonging to the Japanese eyewear brand kearny, created by designer 熊谷富士喜. Centered on eyeglasses and sunglasses, it proposes products that build on knowledge developed through kearny’s celluloid products and incorporate new materials and structures, such as acetate and titanium. It is officially positioned as “a collection that experiments with new materials and structures,” and the name “ACE” combines an abbreviation for acetate with the English word meaning “genuine.”
