Bone Polisher

Chrome Hearts

Aviator shaped sunglasses are experiencing a renaissance this season in exciting materials with luxurious embellishments.  A perfect example is Bone Polisher from Chrome Hearts. A 3D titanium punch-out rim front highlights the fluid aviator shape. The glossy black acetate front and tortoiseshell sides are accented with sterling silver, including a wrapped cross silver motif on the temple tips.  This frame is extremely chic with its understated, intrinsic beauty. Chrome Hearts is an American brand with a strong European following, and  their frames can be found in Paris at Les Plus Belles Lunettes du Monde www.lesplusbelleslunettesdumonde.com and in Rome at Monocle Vergerio, Via de Campo Marzio N. 13. www.opticalshopinternational/com JG

Histoire de Voir

I’ve got a bit of a thing about crystal at the moment so I’ve selected an example here that is really outstanding. This frame is made from transparent acetate combined with leather, yes, beautiful, tactile leather….The designer Stephane Sarnin is one of few in the spectacle business who specialises in leather designs.

Much of the work is done by hand by Stephane in a workshop – a finish like this could not ever be mass produced. The whole collection is quite astounding given the complexities of assembling the materials and combining leather with other more commonly used materials like acetate. I can also recommend the styles using embossed leathers with beautiful antique patterning. They are very original. CN  www.histoire-de-voir.com
