Hit the slopes with Bollé and Revo

Hit the slopes with Bollé and Revo

Winter sports season is here! If you have a trip to the snow planned in the coming months, don’t forget to check if your eyewear needs an update. If there is ever a time to protect your eyes, it’s when being outside in the snow all day…

When in the snowy mountains, UV-rays can get up to ten times higher than normal, so wearing sunglasses or goggles with high-quality glasses is not a luxury, it really is a necessity. These UV-rays can damage your eyes permanently. Not the kind of souvenir you want to take home from your holiday, right?

We want to highlight two brands here, that have had snow goggles in their collections for years now. They both work with the best athletes in snow sports out there, so you can be sure their goggles will work for you as well.

 

Let’s start with Bollé. This brand first added ski goggles to its collection in the 1960s. You can adjust the shield of your goggles to fit different weather conditions: from good weather to poor/night conditions. All shields are photochromatic and protect your eyes to the fullest while giving you the best visual conditions possible. You can even buy a Bollé ski helmet with integrated goggles!

 

Revo introduced the world to its first pair of ski goggles in 1996. Their shields have their famous special protective coatings and are of course photochromatic. Revo’s current collection of goggles was created together with Bode Miller, one of the most decorated male skiers in US history. Without a doubt, he knows how a good pair of ski goggles should perform in order for you to perform your best on the slopes. 

Whether you go with Bollé or Revo, you can be sure you give your eyes the best protection possible with both brands. Enjoy your winter!

Porsche Design surprises with new top model

Porsche Design surprises with new top model

Making visually beautiful things is a challenge for every designer in every industry and certainly also in the optical field, but of course functional innovations are maybe even more interesting and important.

Functionality is not always beautiful and that is why functional adjustments are often hidden and made invisible. At Porsche Design, they think differently. The statement with their latest glasses design is therefore:

"In most designs, the function remains hidden.
But we don’t want to hide something UNIQUE."

Because the new hinges in the most exclusive Porsche Design frame to date are not only a functional improvement, but also very beautiful and should therefore be seen. Porsche Design ambassador Patrick Dempsey wears this new luxury frame with style and proves once again that a beautiful and well-chosen frame can really be an eye-catcher and the finishing touch to any outfit.

New showroom alert: Morel Eyewear

New showroom alert: Morel Eyewear

The newest brand in our showroom is one that’s got quite the history. Family-run Morel has been making eyewear since as early as 1880. The fourth generation of Morel’s is now in charge, successfully introducing this French brand to the rest of the world...

Back in the late nineteenth century, Jules Morel who started out as a farmer in the French Jura, created his first pince-nez (a pair of glasses with a nose clip and no temples). It was the beginning of the successful eyewear story of Morel. Over the years to come, the company would slowly grow into what it is now: an eyewear brand with a strong heritage and a global reach.

For today’s collection, the brand often finds inspiration in its own archives. For instance, their 1880 collection offers re-interpretations of designs from the earliest days of Morel: delicate frames with a unique look and a vintage feel to them.

Their collections of optical glasses and sunglasses always complement your face without being loud. But don’t mistake their subtle look for boring. Unexpected shapes, soft gradient colors, and every now and then the use of prints make all Morel frames unique and interesting.

Founder Jules Morel not only had a love for eyewear, but as a farmer also for his land. This love for both is still a prominent part of the Morel brand. The company has committed itself not only to reduce their use of energy sources, become a zero-paper office and reduce their waste, but also to work on biodiversity by hosting 12 beehives on their property.

New showroom alert: Max Mara

New showroom alert: Max Mara

We are happy to announce a new addition to our ever-expanding collection of showrooms: Max Mara Eyewear. This brand is the epitome of Italian style and luxury and its collection of super feminine glasses and sunglasses is so worth checking out...

Italian fashion house Max Mara is probably most famous for its luxurious cashmere coats that are of such high quality that they get passed down from generation to generation. True investment pieces.

Max Mara optical glasses and sunglasses have the same sense of sophistication as we’ve come the expect from this brand and just like the fashion collection, they are made from the highest quality materials. Both the optical glasses and sunglasses are super feminine and timeless. Especially the sunglasses tend to take the term ‘oversized’ to a new level and will definitely add some glamour to your life.

For the SS2022 collection, Max Mara took inspiration from two extraordinary women. Irish architect and designer Eileen Gray who was a pioneer for the Modern Movement. And secondly, Lee Miller. A model, a fashion photographer who had some of the biggest names of her times in front of her lens and also a war correspondent during WWII. Inspiring women, to say the least, that give life to this collection.

If our little selection makes you hungry for more, check out the entire Max Mara showroom here.
