The AO-1002 is inspired by the vintage AO Sampson model, made famous by Truman Capote. While its style remains surprisingly modern, we redesigned its shape to flatter more face types and suit both men and women. Its profile and size have been refined to offer a timeless look, reimagined for the contemporary era.
