Description

Standing out as one of the standout names in the sunglasses and optical glasses realm in recent years, Gentle Monster was founded by Hankook Kim in Seoul back in 2011. The South Korean name crafted “perfect frames” rooted in philosophies in the purity of art, culture redesign and pioneering technology.
