TITANIUM MANIA
Tura expands on its eponymous house brand with four new women’s ophthalmic styles: R124, R125, R126, and R127. The designs fall into Tura’s intricate sub-collection that emphasizes pierced and open temples made of beta titanium, allowing the frames to be lightweight and thin but still maintain the overall jewelry detailed look.
Model R126 (pictured) is nature-inspired, offering a milled titanium front and square lens shape with slight cat-eye corners. The pierced pattern on the temples features two-tone plating for further definition.
“The addition of our new titanium designs was born out of frequent requests to fill this need in the marketplace,” says Tura brand manager Julie Allen. “We have the ability to produce stylish titanium designs that are comfortable, hypoallergenic, and all in the keeping with the Tura brand DNA—high-quality frames for today’s fashionable woman.”
The suggested retail pricing is $250.

GEAR UP
Liberty Sport’s Helmet Spex and Sport Shift offer frames that are designed by the company as a solution to young athletes who do not wear protective eyewear under their helmets due to issues with fit and/or fogging.
