Iconic Design
L.G.R. Eyewear and Diane von Furstenberg (DVF) team up for a limited-edition capsule collection available from Villa Eyewear to mark the 50th anniversary of Furstenberg’s iconic wrap dress—three iterations of never-seen-before L.G.R. sunglasses (including the L.G.R. x DVF COD 6028, pictured) in frame and lens combinations designed by L.G.R. founder Luca Gnecchi Ruscone and Furstenberg.
Crafted from cellulose acetate, each sunglass flaunts an exclusive tortoiseshell pattern paired with gradient photochromic Barberini tempered mineral glass lenses. Gold engravings line the inner temples of the L.G.R. x DVF collaboration logo and limited-edition identifier hashtag #Wrap50.

Offshore Sights
Bajío Sunglasses introduces a fresh design to its 2024 collection. Named after the St. Bernard Parish fishing community in Los Angeles, the Bajío Sunglasses Hopedale is characterized by its medium wrap design with straight edges, narrow temples, and barrel hinges. The sun style is available in four frame and 14 lens colors, seven each for the polycarbonate and glass lens options. Crafted from lightweight bio-resin nylon, the frame features the brand’s Sun Ledges, engineered to block sunlight from inside the frame.
Eco-Conscious Aesthetic
Eddie Bauer introduces new biodegradable acetate styles derived from fibers of cotton seeds and wood, including the Eddie Bauer EB32084. According to the brand, available from Charmant, the material maintains the aesthetical characteristics of traditional acetate despite its ability to biodegrade in 115 days, as verified by the Organic Waste Systems Institute.

Bold Outdoors
Timberland Eyewear, available from Marcolin, introduces the Timberland TB00001, a squared wraparound sunglass that boasts a sporty aesthetic. Crafted from 35% bio-based injected plastic, the frames come equipped with bold-colored, scratch-resistant lenses and ventilated temples with rubber tips for grip support.
Tailored Style
Hackett Bespoke, Hackett’s premium range of men’s optical styles available from Mondottica, reintroduces its line as Hackett Savile Row, named after the iconic London street known for tailoring, where Jeremy Hackett began his menswear career. The Spring/Summer 2024 collection presents four acetate and two metal styles, each designed with “referencing the past while dressing the future” in mind. The lightweight acetate Hackett Savile Row HEB337, pictured, features thin temples with textured metal pins that harken to the art deco era.
