Pollipo’
The cat-eye shape is enjoying a stylish renaissance, and Rome based designer Paola Costantini at Pollipo’ creates a beautifully feminine cat-eye frame in bi-layer acetate. The slender silhouette in asparagus green melts onto white horn sides. Pollipo’ also has a gorgeous range of handcrafted cases – including the handsome special patterned craquelé white leather design shown above. www.pollipocchiali.it JG
Bundi TG
Mondelliani for John Robshaw
Textile designer John Robshaw and Roman eyewear producers Mondelliani have got together to produce a series of striking patterned sunglasses, with superb results. The frames are decorated with Robshaw’s distinct exotic textile designs, inspired by the designer’s work and travels across India, Indonesia, and Africa. Mondelliani chooses simple shapes that allow the decorations to speak for themselves. Model Bundi TG is one of our favourites, a split front design with abstract animal print. All the styles are made in Italy with 100% UV protection and anti-reflection lens coating. www.johnrobshaw.com / www.mondelliani.it CN
