Beautifully hand-crafted in France in silken acetate, this bold rimmed design is certain to be a favourite with young fashionistas.

Karavan Kids

These colourful, fun sunglasses with polycarbonate lenses for babies provide style and protection against the sun’s potentially harmful rays to developing eyes. Prunelle is an environmentally friendly product as well – the frames are made out of castor oil. Yes! Castor oil! The French based company wanted to make a “green” product that would be safe for baby’s fragile skin and eyes, and they have succeeded with this snappy little design. Spring hinges and silicone nose pads ensure that the frames stay in place. Further details: www.karavanproduction.com JG
