Why KEI
I've worn glasses most of my life, and I grew up in the optical industry. But for a long time, I hated wearing mine — they made me feel self-conscious and were uncomfortable, so I'd skip them whenever I could.
KEI is for anyone who's ever thought their glasses were too heavy, or just didn't look good enough to actually want to wear. I built the brand I wish had existed back then — frames light enough to forget about, and stylish enough to wear all day.
This is personal for me. Every pair we make is something I'd genuinely wear. Welcome to KEI — I can't wait for you to try it.
