Optik mars-avril 2026 Voila AYA Optical Ledger in charcoal

Ledger: Art You Can Wear

Ledger is a bold eyewear statement crafted from rich, custom acetate inspired by buffalo horn materials, with spring hinges for exceptional comfort. The first collaboration between Jim Yellowhawk and AYA Optical, it features Buffalo Nation artwork.

Look closely and you’ll see subtle background numbers drawn from historic Plains Indian ledger paper.

About AYA Optical:

Celebrate Indigenous Art with Us!

We believe that art is transformative, and that eyewear can be the canvas to share stories and art from around the world. AYA Eyewear was first launched in 2009 in collaboration with renowned First Nations Artist Corrine Hunt and has continued to flourish and grow every year. 

We are committed to the details and realize that beautiful design takes time, precision, and attention, so we don’t cut corners. We stand by our product. We treat our artists as our partners and make sure that their stories and art are always shared in the most heartfelt authentic way.

We take pride in our service and seek opportunities to give back to the communities we serve and the artist’s charities of choice.

AYA Eyewear is truly a brand that stands out from the crowd and is loved by Indigenous and non-Indigenous communities alike.
