Traditional British retailer Mulberry has teamed up with eyewear experts Cutler & Gross to produce a rather stylish retro sunglasses range.
Something like 15 styles available covering various eras, but we’ve picked out a pair representing the 1950s and one from the 60s – Betsey and Jackie. Betsey is available in various colours (including the peach pictured here), offering that ‘cat’s eye’ style frame (made from hand-polished Italian plastic), am embossed gold Mulberry logo and 100 per cent UV absorbing tinted lenses. Jackie is a classic 60s shape in black or white, again with a hand-polished frame, but this time with a silver Mulberry logo, black lenses and a matching case.
Most of the pairs in the range retail for around £250.
Here’s a fun column about the history of white sunglasses. Grace Kelly, Audrey Hepburn, Princess Diana, Drew Barrymore, Kate Moss. Fun Video too! http://hubpages.com/hub/White-Sunglasses
