Inspired by the geology of a river carving its path through the earth, with its natural lines and unique facets, the Contour Collection brings a new dimension to the Kirk & Kirk collections. Comprised of five shapes, each is named after a member of the Kirk family – Emma, Zara, Layla, William & Van.  All are available in eight sand-blasted colors, Jet, Glacier, Smoke, Jungle, Admiral, Candy, Indigo, and Carmine.

William – Jungle

“It’s about amplifying the very best in our unique materials,” says designer, Karen Kirk. “Throughout the design process, we take a sculptural approach; sizing and re-shaping our very own grade of Italian acrylic in the same way a sculptor shears a rock.

Van – Admiral

The fronts are hand-crafted from our unique bespoke Italian acrylic which is then sand-blasted to create the matte finish. The frames are hand-made in Italy. The temples are cast in Alpaca Silver- a metal favored by jewelry designers. The spring joint ensures a lightweight, comfortable frame.

Emma – Candy
