2 Defined by lifelong beliefs and not brand strategy, Leisure Society is an extension of designer Shane Baum s perspective on what life should be: spending time with family, friends, and enjoying intimate moments of absolute leisure. Beginning with eyewear that embodies the ideals of the CFDA member and designer, Baum s passion for building products of inherent value led him to crafting the world s finest eyewear one could possibly find. Baum creates his collections with only the most luxurious of components: titanium frames, 12, 18, & 24k gold plating, diamonds, and buffalo horn. The sunglasses are made with the highest quality polarizing CR-39 lenses available with Anti-reflective UGR12, Diamond Cast, and hydrophobic coatings. The Leisure Society collection offers an authentic approach to classically inspired designs using state of the art technology combined with handmade construction techniques. The En Plein Collection is influenced by Baum s recent travels, reflecting on the sights and cultural establishments of the French Riviera, Monte Carlo, Antibes, Eden Roc, and Le Cannet. Inspired by the timeless high-profile glamour, the worldly white sand beaches, popular historic decorative motifs, and century-old hotel staples such as Hotel du Cap-Eden- Roc. The collection embodies the Mediterranean influence through the Parisian old world elegance of classical design, high-quality materials, shape and color. DESIGNED IN CALIFORNIA

13 The Measure of Heirloom Design: At Leisure Society, we design with the intention of making products that will endure. Endless hours are spent to create concepts that are timeless and of exceptional taste and quality. Every small detail is refined, polished and hand crafted to offer the utmost in style and durability. Our products offer the wearer subtle moments of proud satisfaction, that when left in periods of absolute leisure can only be accompanied by a smile, and a genuine appreciation for refined design and engineering. Pressing: Leisure Society frames are individually pressed from 100% pure titanium before being plated in gold. Titanium s durability, lightweight, dent and corrosion resistance is an ideal pairing for the precision essential in every detail of our handcrafted frames. Soldering: Each Leisure Society rim wire is hand-rolled and soldered by one of our skilled soldering assembly artisans, one joint at a time. Each soldered piece is then evenly hand-filed to eliminate any rough edges and imperfections that may remain, then embossed with an intricately designed pattern. Polishing: Leisure Society frames are hand polished by master craftsmen using a polishing wheel, similar to how the world s finest jewelry is cared for, and will undergo this process until even the slightest imperfection has been eliminated, and each frame meets our high standards of quality. Construction: Each Leisure Society frame and their precisely engineered components are assembled through a meticulous attention to detail by skilled artisans, with the intention that these frames will last forever, and bring rich experience and poetry to one s life. Materials: Our frames are cast out of pure 12k, 18k, and 24k gold plated titanium. We accent these precious metals with rich finely etched buffalo horn, elegant VS1 diamond insets, and the highest quality polarizing CR-39 lens available with, Antireflective UGR12, Diamond Cast, and hydrophobic coating. We worked for close to two years on perfecting numerous new technologies that have been applied to very classical concepts. The etching work on many of the frames requires over six hours on a state of the art computer controlled CNC machine, thus limiting production to only four frames per day. Most companies wouldn t bother with such production, but making something special and ornate is the intention. We believe in Heirloom Design. The intention is to create frames that ultimately your grandchildren might fight over when you pass away. shane bau m
