Sunny, sunny, sunny. A good pair of shades is a must in everyone’s life. Especially up here in the North, the winter light is not only beautiful, but it can also be pretty intense on the old peepers. It also goes without saying that sunnies are essential for the summer sun, however little of that we have up in Scotland. It is a luxury that usually has to be sought, but gives us a great excuse to discover foreign lands.
But, what little beauties are hiding among out shelves? It’s the new Folk x Oscar Deen collaboration and it is killer. The most perfect of shades made in London and inspired by vintage frames from across the world. From local basement collectors to markets across Europe, Oscar and Sheriff modernise forgotten classics and re–create them in a hand finished Mazzucchelli acetate.
They are shades full of modest intrigue. With a rounded off geometric frame, they seem to be a perfect size on everyone’s face. Not to big, yet no to small. They come in a smokey black, clear crystal and deep gold colourway all of which will make your sunglasses dream a reality. They are the perfect gift for a loved one or a special treat to yourself for getting through this whirlwind of a year (they can also be used to hide from Brexit).
