As a spectacle wearer myself, I was pretty ecstatic when
Warby Parker approached me to write a post about their latest collection with
Leith Clark. After a brief sneak peak at the collection and the photography, I
thought it would be such a great piece to feature on my blog and couldn’t say
no!
Warby Parker is an American company in which provides
boutique design glasses around the global. The company started up as an
alternative to the overpriced lens market available today. Warby Parker and
Leith Clark have joined forces to create The Leith Collection. You may recognise
Leith Clark from her styling in Harper Bazaar UK and the editor chief of
biannual magazine Lula.
The Leith collection itself appeals to a quirky yet
alternative business like audience, with the use of frames in the collection. A
retro style theme is present throughout most pieces with the use of a cat eye
frame for the styles WEDNESDAY Noir
and WILLOW Aldabra. Along with the use of vintage retro square
frames AURORA daughter of Pearl and MARVA cobalt leaf. (Cobalt leaf is my
favourite from the collection). All of which are available in optical and sun
wear. Click here for links to the eyewear collection and here for the sun wear collection.
I do feel like the style of glasses adopted within the
collection has been slightly over used by various other companies within the UK
market itself. All though, the major selling point for me with this collection is
that: For each pair of glasses sold, a pair is distributed to someone in
need. I really love that ethos!
A percentage from each sale of the glasses will also go to
Girl Up, a United Nations foundation company in which aims to raise awareness
and funds for UN programmes that provide life-changing opportunities to girls
around the world. http://www.girlup.org
The collection is now available online and from Warby Parker
stores and showrooms.
$145 each / £88.76 GBP
