Specifics: A variety of sunglass looks that range from glamour and lace to luxe leather and rock ‘n roll.
Selling Points: The “Nile” sunglass style is all about luxe leather. This ultra-thin feminine frame employs innovative construction techniques while a slim line aesthetic is achieved by applying leather directly to the frame. The Elva sunglass is an oversized square statement frame that is evocative of 70s glamour. Iconic Jimmy Choo lace is reinterpreted in the Dhelia style as an intricate lace pattern is drawn in metal above the lenses. The Mori sunglass style from this latest Jimmy Choo collection features a rounded silhouette with sparkling metal micro studs that embody an irreverent rock ‘n roll spirit.
