Modehistoria
Founded in 2001 by Intermestic Inc., Zoff opened its first store in Shimokitazawa, Tokyo. It introduced a standardized flat-rate pricing model to the Japanese optical industry, which previously featured high costs and complex pricing structures. This approach increased accessibility to eyewear, significantly reducing the time and expense required for prescription lenses. Historically, Zoff contributed to the normalization of multiple-pair ownership, influencing how eyewear is consumed and integrated into modern Japanese street fashion.
