9701

Lindberg Strip Range

Lindberg elements of comfort, lightness, and ease of adjustment, now include yet another beautiful visual dimension. 9701 (above) and each frame in the Strip Range series, features lenses that are surrounded by a special acetate inner rim, mounted within the titanium plate of the frame. This provides a subtle interplay between the colours and textures of the inner rim and the outer frame. The lenses seem almost to float within the frame. There are lovely colour choices, that include the soft blush above, and vibrant tones are also available. For more news on modern mainstream eyewear by Lindberg, visit www.lindberg.com. JG
