California Dreamy: New Sunglasses from Alex & Chloe

April 25th, 2008 - Los Angeles

LA-based label Alex and Chloe are old hands at the jewelry design business. And having established themselves as masters of affordable, contemporary accessories with an added sense of humor, they recently expanded into the luxury market, offering gold- and diamond-studded pieces for those wishing to splash the cash. But the brand isn't stopping at bling—they're now looking to fulfill your summertime ocular needs with a new range of A&C sunglasses.

The Cape Town style, available in red, woodgrain, turquoise and "tuxedo" black, takes inspiration from the classic Wayfarer design, while the Santa Cruz, offered in a more muted grey, black and brown range, reworks that other Ray-Ban staple, the Aviator, in Italian acetate. All of the hand-crafted frames offer UV 400 protection and carry a whimsical message (e.g. Oui, il est vraiment moi) etched on the inside arm.

Available in the online shop at www.alexandchloe.com.
