The African Canadian Eyewear company celebrates past present and future by combining what resonates most with making eyewear at home.
September 7, 2017, Toronto, Ontario - Bôhten Eyeglasses is pleased to announce that the Company has launched Kickstarter Campaign to showcase a redesign of its milestone products & its first Aviator Frames as part of their 2018 generation of glasses, Bôhten 5. The campaign will officially launch on Tuesday, September 12th, 2017.
Bôhten 5 encapsulates a labour of love born from an extensive collaboration with designers, engineers, influencers and most importantly, supporters of the company. The work to become a brand that provides eyewear and services as a global initiative is beginning to blossom. The goal was simple, take that resonated most with consumers and make them even better.
By partnering with a leading global manufacturer, Bôhten has been able to elevate the standard of quality in its frames & implement some distinct, authentic features.
The mission has always been to build sustainable supply chains in Africa, the material there has created a dedicated skill level that can be empowered and shared. Chief Executive Officer & Co-founder Nana Boateng Osei relates that, “the new collection reflects the profession to where we are going. The inspiration is fulfilling what we wanted to do and to continue with the style that everyone loves. Proceeds from the Kickstarter will be used in part to fund our first production hub in West Africa, this is the most exciting time for us because we will be working directly with local populations to elevate knowledge base and standards of living.”
