Akoni
Akoni is understated luxury eyewear at its most precise: grade-A Japanese titanium worked to jewellery tolerances, with motorsport- and aviation-inspired detailing and hypoallergenic ceramic nosepads.
Drawn by an award-winning design team and made in Japan, each frame is sculpted and balanced so well you feel it the moment it settles. Luxury that states its case slowly.
Where can I buy Akoni in South Africa?
Akoni is stocked at OPTIK, Shop SL24, Melrose Arch, Johannesburg — next door to Woolworths. Optik is a proudly authorised Akoni stockist, with every frame sourced directly from the house or its authorised distributor. Come in to try them on, or enquire on WhatsApp and we'll help you find the right pair.
Where is Akoni eyewear made?
Akoni is handcrafted in Japan from jewellery-grade titanium — hypoallergenic and far lighter than steel for its strength — with ceramic nose pads and aviation- and motorsport-inspired detailing.
Is Akoni a luxury brand?
Yes — genuine luxury eyewear, drawn by an award-winning design team and built to jewellery tolerances, with understated, clean-lined styling rather than visible branding.
What makes Akoni's titanium special?
Grade-A Japanese titanium worked to fine tolerances makes each frame light, strong, hypoallergenic and balanced — you feel it settle the moment it goes on.
How much does Akoni eyewear cost in South Africa?
Akoni sits at the top end of The Collection, priced in rand and displayed as wall labels alongside each frame in the shop. Prices move with the collection, so enquire on WhatsApp for current pricing and availability, or come and try them on at Melrose Arch.
Does Akoni make sunglasses as well as optical frames?
Yes — Akoni's collection spans both optical frames and sunglasses, built from the same grade-A Japanese titanium. OPTIK stocks a curated selection of each; enquire on WhatsApp to check what is currently on the wall.
Can I have prescription lenses fitted to Akoni frames?
Yes. Optik partners with trusted specialist optical laboratories for lens manufacturing, while our team manages the measurements, lens selection, frame assessment and final quality check — so your Akoni frame leaves with lenses matched to your prescription and to the frame itself.
Is OPTIK an authorised Akoni stockist?
Yes — OPTIK is an authorised Akoni stockist, and every frame comes directly from the house or its authorised distributor. That matters with a house this quietly branded: authenticity, current-season stock and the house's own quality standard are guaranteed, and fittings and adjustments happen in person at Melrose Arch.
