ST. PETERSBURG, Fla.—Eye Q Eyewear has announced the launch of the Buxton women’s eyewear collection.

“We feel we found a void in the value segment of the marketplace for tasteful frames for sophisticated, fashion conscious women,” said Jeff Frumkin, CEO of Eye Q. “The Buxton collection has been designed to satisfy the needs of multifocal wearers, aged 40 to 65.”

Following the success of the classic Buxton men’s collection, Eye Q created a unique women’s line that is constructed with the same high quality acetate, Monel and stainless steel, the company said. The initial launch collection includes seven pieces, three in metal and four in acetate.

Eye Q’s design team worked closely with licensor Buxton, a leather goods and accessories designer, to create styles that incorporate the stone embellishments, metal trim, jewel tones and unique textures that characterize the brand’s handbag and accessory line.
