World Chess x Akila Legacy Glasses

World Chess introduces Chess Glasses — a unique collaboration with a LA-based eyeware brand Akila. 

Chess pattern is placed on the inside of the glasses — it gives a subtle yet visible association with chess and was first introduced during the World Chess Championship match in Dubai. 

Legacy mixes eyewear principles, fusing classic handcrafted artisanry with modern materials to create a timeless frame with an aesthetic functionality.

Each pair is handmade in limited numbers to maintain precision and quality that will look great and last for years.
