Drypond

Drypond is a contemporary eyewear label based in Vancouver, British Columbia, founded by Aidan Cheung in 2021. Its roots run between Shenzhen and Hong Kong, and it takes a second-generation approach to modern glasses, treating the brand as a conversation between generations.

The frames draw on vintage styles from Europe and America, reinterpreting the retro shapes favoured by historically influential figures. Each one uses Italian acetate and is made from start to finish by a family-owned factory with nearly half a century of eyewear experience.

Drypond cares about craftsmanship and stays open to new design, but has no interest in predicting future trends. It focuses on what is here now.
