Mosley Tribes Lyndel “Beaded Edition”

Mosley Tribes presents a beautiful special release of their Lyndel frame. The Beaded Edition comes with great hand-crafted details.

“Patterned after Native American hand woven blankets, both temples on the black Lyndel are individually hand laid using brightly colored ceramic beads. The frame design is retro-inspired in an angular plastic cut.The keyhole bridge accentuates the softly contoured lens shape while the frame front sports retro pin detailing. Hand beaded by Jenny Dayco, the former graphic designer and talent agent is self-taught in the art of jewelry designing and works in stinctively from the gut while her hands brilliantly produce each and every single piece.”

The sunglasses will be released in very limited quantities in July 2010 at Oliver Peoples boutiques in Soho and Sunset Plaza, as well as select retailers.

Oakley - Limited Edition “Fade” Frogskins

The Oakley Frogskins are one of the most iconic and classically retro shapes from the Oakley eye wear line-up. Its timelessly relevant silhouette has won the Frogskin a strong fan base. This year, the label is releasing a new “Fade” series for the Frogskins and as the name suggests, the glasses are reworked in a gradient colorway that is funkier and more energetic than the classic monochromes. First to release from the series in early February is the Rootbeer/Cyan Fade colorway with Blue iridium lenses. The glasses fade outwards from the bridge and top of the frames in rootbeer to a contrasting cyan. The frames are translucent and summer-ready and matching with eye-catching blue iridium lens for a cool 70s throwback. Like all Frogskins, these shades are limited to one piece per customer and are produced in limited quantities.
