Why Representation in Eyewear Matters: Designed to Fit Ethnic Faces

Why Representation in Eyewear Matters: Designed to Fit Ethnic Faces

Eyewear has historically been designed with one default face shape in mind—often leaving people with ethnic facial features struggling to find a pair that actually fits. Slipping frames, red marks on the nose, and uncomfortable pressure on the cheeks are common signs that your sunglasses weren’t made for your face.

At Anhseen, we’re changing that.

Inclusive Eyewear: More Than Just a Trend

Inclusivity in eyewear means more than just adding a few skin tone options or diverse models in ads. It means rethinking how eyewear is designed—starting with the real needs of people of colour, particularly those with:

  • Low nose bridges
  • High cheekbones
  • Wider face shapes

This is why our signature frames like Bangkok Golden Hour and Saigon Midnight Ride are built to stay put, feel lightweight, and frame your features beautifully.

Celebrating Culture Through Design

We name each pair of sunglasses after cities that hold nostalgic, cultural meaning—like:

  • Seoul Shadow – A sleek black frame that honors Korean beauty and city life.
  • Bangkok After Dark – Bold and moody, made for nightlife lovers and cultural explorers.
  • Saigon Morning Ice Coffee – A tribute to the everyday rituals and warmth of Vietnamese mornings.

We aren’t just creating sunglasses. We’re crafting stories that reflect identity, heritage, and the diverse faces of the world.

Why This Representation Matters

When brands fail to design for diverse features, they send a message—intentional or not—that some faces don’t belong. At Anhseen, we believe you deserve to be seen, celebrated, and fitted properly.

Our eyewear is for those who’ve always been left out of the standard sizing charts and model campaigns. We see you, and we’re designing for you.
