Wabi / Bio-Acetate / Periwinkle

Wabi is ballo’s classic, unisex homage to the Japanese aesthetic concept. Wabi represents rustic simplicity, understated elegance and finding beauty in natural imperfection or quiet, humble and imperfect, transient objects.


These frames are fitted with high-quality screen safe (UV420, blue light blocking) mineral glass lenses and feature durable multi-barrel hinges. They can be fitted with any prescription lens by your optometrist or by us. Learn more about lensing here.
