We’re going to remake the famous Maikita model for the so-called Asian fit. In fact, this option means that the frames have extended or wide nose pads that can lift the glasses on faces with a low nasal septum or high cheekbones.

Two holes are ready.
You can install brand new toe stops.
What a result!
The customization took two business days and cost UAH 600. – This cost included:
