THE CONCEPT
The evolution of Kopajos is a tribute to the artisan who gave the brand its character and direction.
Since then, the collection has grown with the times. It absorbed changes, the influences, the passing obsessions of fashion. But beneath it all, it’s stayed rooted in the same place: Greece.
Each pair of sunglasses is a reflection of the Aegean: not just in color, but in rhythm and clarity.
Bold hues, sharp contrasts, intricate details, the elements that define Kopajos aren’t aesthetic choices. They’re part of a language. A way of crafting that doesn’t dilute with time.
Techniques evolve, tools improve, but the intent stays the same: make something that lasts—and make it personal.
There’s a kind of attention you give only to things that matter. That’s the kind of care behind each pair. Not because it sounds nice, but because that’s what happens when a brand stays in the hands of a family who still treats design as a responsibility.
This is the Kopajos κόσμος: a world built on discipline, obsession, and an unshakable point of view.
Every detail is part of a larger story. And the more you look, the more there is to find
What’s the first reaction to the Kopajos collection?
There’s a lot to take in. More than 120 models. Over 5,000 combinations. Kopajos doesn’t aim to please everyone—just anyone with a point of view. Whatever your shape, your attitude, or your instinct, you’ll find a frame that fits.
That range isn’t random. It’s the result of consistency: a production that doesn’t compromise on quality. A design team that keeps reworking colors, finishes, and materials. Signature styles return in new versions. Materials shift. Details change. The foundation stays. Each pair is made to be worn. Not once. Not sometimes. But every day—exactly your way.
How’s the experience in the Kopajos stores?
Step into the Kopajos flagship on Kalogera Street, and one thing is immediately clear: you’re surrounded.
Walls, corners, surfaces—everywhere you look, sunglasses.
Over 1,500 frames are displayed at once. Not hidden, not behind glass. Fully visible, fully accessible.
It’s not a curated selection. It’s a complete universe. The space reflects the island outside—white, bold, open.
The floor is Aegean blue. Waves run across the furniture. Natural light floods in from above, shifting across the lenses as the day moves on. At the center, the bone-white table anchors the room. Sunglasses are laid out in rhythm, not in rows. It doesn’t feel like a showroom. It feels like stepping inside the brand’s mind.
People don’t come in knowing what they’ll choose. They come in to see. To touch. To try. And somehow, they always find more than one.
Why Mykonos?
Mykonos isn’t a backdrop for Kopajos. It’s where the brand took shape—because of what this island is, and what it stands on. A place like this forces you to be visible. The light is too strong to hide. The lines are too clean to fake anything. Kopajos learned its clarity here: bold frames, sharp contrasts, nothing to dilute or decorate. But that’s just the surface. What really shaped the brand was the way Mykonos receives people.
Not with strategy. With instinct. That same instinct that runs deep in Greek culture—ξενία. In ancient Greece, hospitality wasn’t kindness. It was sacred law: treat strangers as guests of the gods. Make space. Offer safety. Share without calculating. That code is still alive here.
It’s what makes Mykonos different from any other destination. It’s not about luxury. It’s about freedom. A kind of openness that Kopajos absorbed from the beginning—and turned into its own way of working, showing, welcoming.
And just across the water, Delos holds the origin myth. Uninhabited, but never still. A sacred island where light, story, and silence collide—and where nothing is superficial.
That energy flows into Mykonos. Into the store. Into the frames. Kopajos isn’t just based here. It belongs here. And everything it creates carries that imprint.
