Description:
A sleek rarity from 1990s Matsuda, this titanium frame balances precision and poetry. With its slim oval lenses, barely-there bridge, and clean construction, the 101 14120 feels like a whisper of design—lightweight, but impossible to ignore. Made in Japan during the golden era of the brand’s craftsmanship, it’s a quiet statement for those who value nuance and legacy.

Pairs well with: people who read the footnotes, wear Comme des Garçons, or collect architecture books "for the pictures."
