Temperatures are dropping, the sun is setting a little bit earlier, and the leaves are changing colors. Most people are leaning into the change in season and looking forward to the holiday festivities. However, in South Florida we are conflicted as we find ourselves longing for cool nights, while struggling to say farewell to warm, beachy days.
We continue to chase the idea of an Endless Summer but deep down we know our days are numbered as they continue to get shorter, and the nights get longer. Although many of us will never retire our swimsuits, it’s time to evaluate our style choices as we prepare for what many describe as “winter in paradise.” Herein lies the true spirit of the Endless Summer collaboration with Oliver Peoples – it is about chasing the final moments of summer while welcoming the coveted, cool Miami nights. It is time to say so long to our oversized sunglasses and wrap-around, shielded sport frames, and say hello to more timeless and sophisticated styles. In collaboration with Oliver Peoples, we have created four new colorway combinations that breathe new life into three of their most iconic styles. These new classics are on trend for the fall season and add a fashionable flare to these styles which were originally designed as prescription frames. These new lens pairings are ideal for the South Florida sunshine.
SHELDRAKE SUN
Released in 2008, the Sheldrake is inspired by Andy Warhol. This iconic sunglass is a bold intellectual design offering timeless style. It is handcrafted in Japan from layers of custom designed acetate in exclusive colors that result in the unique pattern of each individual frame. Substantial five-barrel hinges provide greater durability to the structure of the frame. Custom Oliver Peoples logo-engraved core wire reinforces the integrity of the frame, allowing for long-lasting adjustments for a proper fit. The Sheldrake features a custom Oliver Peoples hand-inlaid logo insignia at the temple tip which assures authenticity and is finished with decorative custom plaques that enhance the design.
RILEY-R
Distinctive in its simplicity, released in 2005, the Riley-R is one of the most iconic frames with a round silhouette. It is handmade in Italy of the highest quality with functional dual pins on the frame front and temples that offer additional strength and durability. The custom Oliver Peoples filigree is engraved on the core wire, adding texture and detail to the temple design. Universal fitting nosepads provide an enhanced fit and the Oliver Peoples hand-inlaid logo at the temple tip assures authenticity.
N.03 SUN
The N.03 is part of a series of frames centered on simplicity and discoverable details. Handmade in Japan the N.03 is a modest square shape with a keyhole bridge. A custom dimensional pattern created with raised and recessed surfaces is featured on the metal core wire, providing subtle details that scream quiet luxury.
