Cubitts x YMC Akira rose

YMC and Cubitts come together again for 2026, revisiting the Akira and Kitano frames in a lighter, more understated palette.

Designed in collaboration with YMC creative director Sage Toda-Nation, the frames take cues from the personal style of Japanese filmmakers Akira Kurosawa and Takeshi Kitano — both known for their habit of wearing sunglasses on set.

The Akira features a more structured rectangular acetate frame with oversized wraparound lugs — bolder than the Kitano, but still easy to wear.

Fitted with tinted CR-39 lenses for full UV protection. Branding is kept discreet on the inner temple.

Includes a branded case and lens cloth.
