Quick Take: Erker’s 1879 announces the release of its Fall 2024 collection, debuting the new Bay Window Collection.
Specifics: The new Bay Window collection releases with 22 handcrafted frames: 18 optical and four sun in four colors each. Each frame in the collection is handcrafted in a 48-step process with materials including lightweight titanium, surgical steel and durable acetate.
The collection’s name comes from the Erker family history. According to the brand: “Over two centuries ago, a baby was anonymously left in the nook of a bay window in a small German town, left orphaned and nameless. The child was given the last name Erker, the German word for bay window, to honor the earliest part of their life. To this day, the current generation of Erkers still find inspiration in their family’s past, looking to the intricate details of the historic architecture in their city to inspire their designs. Signifying the collection, each frame features a Bay Window icon on the temple tips, with their year of inception on the opposite side.”
Selling Point: Erker’s 1879’s new Bay Window Collection debuts 22 styles that honor the storied business, passed through five generations.
