Polaroid Best Under The Sun archive sunglasses collection
Perhaps now known more for its cameras, Polaroid was once a prime mover in the sunglasses market, producing some iconic styles from the '60s onwards. Some of those are celebrated and reissued in the Polaroid Best Under The Sun archive collection, now available via the Design Museum.
Four styles are on offer, Memphis, Donna, Image (designed by Kenneth Grange) and Rebel. Memphis is the one above, worn by musicians and hipsters in the 1960s, reproduced in premium nickel silver and state of the art TR90 for the modern market. They retail for £69.
Also, check out over the page for the other styles, all taken from the 1970s and 1980s and priced between £69 and £85.
Pedlars Vintage Sunglasses
Pedlars’ vintage ranges are always worth a look and their latest consignment of Vintage Sunglasses is no exception.
Pictured here is my favourite design, an Italian style from the 1970s in grey, but the other styles are just as stylish. Choose from unisex Japanese Aviators (dating from sometime in the period from the 1950s to 1970s) in either gold or silver or 1970s Pilot sunglasses from the USA. The Italian glasses cost £210, the other styles a bit more at £225.

The glasses are limited edition and available either online or in-store for a very reasonable £65.
