The acetate frames have been developed by hand to obtain the house colours reminiscent of the leather goods lines - crafted by the most experienced of eyewear makers, LV sunglasses provide a reliable protection against solar UV radiation.
Combining new technology and high quality, the lens benefit from special treatments: photochromy and polarization.
The finishes on the hinges have been carefully crafted to form perfect LV initials.
The styles have been created by a design department using a unique three-dimensional process.
Designed by Marc Jacobs, the sunglasses line takes its inspiration from the house codes: the Monogram flower feature in the design for the women’s styles, while the Damier check appears in the collection for men.
The summer 2010 collection takes on a seventies feel with an injection of Arty Technicolour. It is illustrated by this portrait gallery of Parisian and New-York trendsetters.
This collection is exclusively available from the Louis Vuitton network as of March 2010.
