Bôhten Unveils Fresh Frames for Summer '25: The New Icons Are Here

 

 

As the sun turns up for summer, so does Bôhten. We’re proud to unveil the newest additions to our Icon Series—a bold, fashion-forward collection of sunglasses and eyeglasses made for those who move through the world with style, intention, and impact.

This summer release builds on the success of the original Icon collection and the momentum from our acclaimed Mufasa campaign with Disney Canada. Now, we’re back with fresh designs that speak directly to our community—and the fun filled summer season ahead.

Meet the New Styles in the Icon Series

Introducing the Mokete

Mokete Olive - Bôhten Eyewear



The standout star of this release is the Mokete—a striking new silhouette available in two bold colorways: Olive and Black. Shop Mokete Olive & Black

Mokete Olive Sun - Bôhten Eyewear



Named after the Sesotho word for celebration or festive gathering, Mokete embodies the energy of summer joy, community, and movement. These frames are a perfect fusion of effortless cool and elevated craftsmanship, making them your must-have accessory for every festival, rooftop gathering, and sunlit stroll.

Aya in Palm

Our fan-favorite Aya now drops in a lush new Palm colorway—a nod to the vibrancy of nature and the spirit of summer. Shop Aya Palm

Aya Palm Sun - Bôhten Eyewear


Aya is inspired by an Adinkra symbol of resilience and endurance, rooted in West African culture. With this meaning at its core, the Aya frame reflects strength through style—designed for those who face the world with grace, no matter the season.

Pamoja in Black

Back and bolder than ever, the Pamoja returns in an effortlessly chic Black finish. Shop Pamoja Black



"Pamoja" is the Swahili word for together, representing unity, connection, and shared purpose. As part of our Icon Series, the Pamoja frame is a powerful reminder of the strength in community—and how timeless style is always stronger when shared.

Behind the Lens: Toronto Photoshoot with Black Creatives

To bring this collection to life, we collaborated with some of the most dynamic creatives in Toronto’s Black community. The result? A photo campaign that felt as smooth and effortless as the styles themselves.

The shoot was a celebration of artistry, culture, and collaboration. We’re grateful to this brilliant team who helped tell our story with such power and ease.

A New Summer Look, A New Summer Energy

Whether you're gearing up for Afro Nation Portugal, Toronto Caribana Carnival, London's Notting Hill, or a local summer soirée, this collection is designed for style-conscious professionals, creative leaders, and eco-luxury lovers ready to shine.

As always, Bôhten frames are made with a commitment to sustainability, premium materials, and a deep connection to our African heritage. Each piece is not just eyewear—it’s a movement.
