The kora is a 21-string West African instrument — part lute, part harp — that bridges what might otherwise seem irreconcilable. L.G.R's Kora frame operates with the same principle. Its silhouette is a lean oval that sits somewhere between round and shield, smaller in proportion than L.G.R's boldest shapes but no less considered in construction. In Black Crystal Gold 01D, the acetate reads as near-black from a distance and reveals its crystalline depth and gold flecks only in direct light — a frame that rewards close attention without demanding it. The flat grey lenses sit at a calibrated tint: dark enough to function, light enough to keep the face readable. Worn by Eiza Gonzalez and Jodie Turner-Smith. Handmade in Italy, prescription-compatible.
