We are spoilt when it comes
to sunglasses, no matter what our budget, face shape or colouring
we can quite easily find a pair of sunglasses to suit our handsome
lil faces. And yet still we desire more, more exclusivity, more
attention to detail and individuality. Now this is where
Eye
Respect comes into its own, born out of a desire to
pay homage to the long and distinguished histories of English
& Italian culture, style and standards of
craftsmanship. The ideal of “sprezzatura”; The effortless
combination of style and attention to detail that are inherent in
both cultures. Referencing key landmarks
in Anglo-Italian style, the collection is a reflection of the
exacting standards both cultures embrace. From the traditional to
the contemporary, with a strong heritage influence, Eye Respect
collections attract a broad selection of both traditional
professionals right the way through to modern sub-cultures. Eye Respect frames are
designed and manufactured by hand. Their designs are conceived in
London in the artisinal way, and then head to the region of Veneto
in Northern Italy to the family – owned workshop that has been
producing the finest acetate frames for 50 years. Each frame goes
through more than 60 crafted stages to achieve the style and
quality that they respect and has gained the brand the respect of
key artisans including Oliver Spencer and Mark Powell and Shhhhhh
Adrien Sauvage for Summer 2014, but keep it to yourself.
