collaboration entre lunettes Kollektion et London's Cooperative Designs

STarS IN ThEIr EyES, hEarTS IN ThEIr gLaSSES

Berlin-based eyewear specialists Lunettes Kollektion and London’s Cooperative Designs knitwear innovators hold a shared vision for handcrafted quality and timeless individuality. So it’s only natural that the two have joined forces to create a distinctive debut – a limited-edition summer eyewear collection that makes one long for a holiday in the sun.

The five-piece sunglass range starts with two of Lunettes Kollektion’s carefully crafted frames and adds inspiration from Cooperative Designs Spring/Summer 2012 collection, “Wish you were here.” Unique cut-outs transform the tinted lenses but don’t impact vision – so wearers can both look good and see well. Fare Bella Figura - Love is an Italian-influenced charmer, a gently rounded but solid frame, holding heart-shaped lenses – sweet but not sappy. Colors are Ash with grey lenses, Miele (honey) with blue, and Crystal with red. Stellar counterpart George - Starry eyed adds a bit of edge with its angular 80’s style and moon-and-star shapes

– available in Smoky Ash with grey lenses and Miele (honey) with blue lenses.

To keep the sunnies from straying while adding a finishing touch, Cooperative Designs also created custom crochet glasses cords using yards from the SS 2012 collection – choices include tri-tone blues, ruffly roses and steely hearts. The collaboration sunglasses also come with a cleaning cloth printed with one of Cooperative Designs’ original artworks that appears as a graphic print in their fashion collection.

All Lunettes Kollektion eyeglasses are handcrafted by a small, traditional manufacturer in Italy using the highest quality Cellulose Acetate, a natural raw material. The lenses for this collaboration were produced in Italy using a special technique. Cooperative Designs garments are produced in small factories using a combination of high-tech and traditional approaches; the cords for this collection are hand-crocheted.
