Get to Know Us
Born from curiosity — for what’s visible, and what’s deliberately hidden.
We craft eyewear with skilled makers in China,
where beauty and control move together in fragile rhythm.
Every frame is a lens, an invitation to look closer:
at culture, at the world, at yourself.
Our inspiration comes from photography —
from stories that slip through filters,
from images that refuse to disappear.
Mercury reveals what can be seen,
and what nearly vanished.
From eyewear to imagery, from fashion to reflection,
we’re building an archive of vision, light, and freedom.
