Meet The Dakota
Our take on the classic aviator, The Dakota gives an iconic silhouette a distinctly Western point of view. An extra-wide metal rim creates a bolder, more substantial profile, while intricate scrollwork inspired by engraved Western belt buckles extends across the upper bar and temples, finished with horseshoe details at the temple tips.
The result is a confident frame that feels unmistakably Kroop’s, pairing enduring style with the character and detailing of the American West. Refined enough for everyday wear but bold enough to stand on its own, The Dakota brings a fresh perspective to an eyewear icon.
