"The only reason we wore sunglasses onstage was because we couldn't stand the sight of the audience."
The quote of the year regarding sunglasses from Velvet Underground's co-founder John Cale who was known to wear his sunglasses both day and night.

The new collection has seven colourways to suite your mood/decor/location. Whevever you plan to be this summer, remember to leave room for your collection of sunglasses.

If you find yourself playing the sport of Kings's this summer - add a black pair to show you're in control of the social situation.

If you think a five star hotel is the essence of chic. Try matching the expensive white sand you're laying on to your frames.

Red frames, with a touch of Italian green shout I'm Made In Italy - and I care what I buy.

If you're planning to be an urban bunny this summer - opt for a chic metropolitan look in black with gold arms.

A country house doesn't have to spell tweed and tortoisehell.

Produced exclusively for Italy's famous "Giro D'Italia" the long distance road bicycle held for professional cyclists around Italy. The pink colourway mirrors the pink of the winning jersey and these same frames were worn exclusively by this year's race marshalls.

If tennis is more your thing - forget the usual tennis whites and opt for a dash of Italian flair with this black colourway with complimentary red & green touches.
