Within NEW.'s brand family, few. is a collection line that presents the brand’s universal, minimalist product approach from a different angle through a reinterpretation of Euro vintage. It offers sunglasses that incorporate features found in French vintage, such as smaller proportions and crown-panto shapes, along with the thickness and edges of acetate, while adjusting the proportions for a contemporary balance. In contrast to NEW.'s core line, LAIDBACK’s sports and outdoor specifications, and REVISION’s focus on materials and construction, few. takes on forms that reference past eyewear culture and a distinctive approach to sunglasses.
