レチルドは多くの方のお顔は非対称であり、非対称なお顔をした人それぞれに利き顔があるのでは?
という仮説に基づき、右利き用のデザインと左利き用のデザインを用意した世界初の眼鏡ブランドです。
実際に店舗で実験的に導入しリサーチましたが、サンプルの 40%は右利き、サンプルの 40%左利き、
残りの 20%は両利きでした。つまり左右非対称な眼鏡は稀に見かけますが、
その眼鏡は40+20=60%の方にしか似合わない眼鏡と言える事が出来ます。
つまりレチルドは非対称を誇る特異なデザインが特徴ではなく、
お顔に馴染ませる為に揺らぎが必要でその揺らいだ眼鏡のデザインの効果により、
今までに無い程にお顔に馴染む眼鏡に仕上がったのです。
