Mohala Eyewear (ABOVE)
In Hawaiian, “Mohala” means to “unfold” or blossom like the petals of a flower. It can also mean the metaphorical unfolding of an idea or initial plan which then evolves into a fully realized vision. Enter mohala Eyewear from Ashley Johnson, who designed the collection to address different face shapes, nose bridges, cheekbones, and long lashes. Most eyewear in the U.S. is designed to fit one kind of face but Mohala offers four nose bridge heights to address different facial topography … not to mention the growing trend of lash extensions means their varying nose bridges allow long lashes to blink comfortably without hitting the lenses. MSRP: $169 – $185, mohalaeyewear.com
