Sàfilo Group has introduced three new sunglass styles on behalf of its Valentino collection to support the launch of Valentino's newest fragrance, "V." Inspired by the new fragrance bottle, all three styles feature a new logo: A fiery red enamel "V" in the shape of a bold, unmistakable brushstroke. The Valentino 5411/s is a Jackie O- inspired sunglass in white or shiny black with a dark gray lens. This style wholesales for $110. Valentino 5412/s (shown) is an oversized wrap shield with standout style. The red enamel "V" logo is surrounded by hand-set crystal or black diamond Swarovski crystals and serves as the endpiece that connects the frame front to the slender black or white plastic temples. The VAL 5416/s is simply a smaller version of this shield. Both 5412/s and 5416/s are priced at $140. For more information, contact Sàfilo at 800-631-1188.
