A GOOD CATCH
Costa Sunglasses presents Trevally, its newest sunglass style honoring the strength of the trevally fish. “Some anglers spend their whole lives chasing trevally, often leaving with nothing but a great story to tell,” says Al Perkinson, vice president of marketing for Costa.
Trevally is made of bio-based resin sourced from the castor plant, and can be customized with Costa’s patented color-enhancing polarized 580 lenses, as well as customized Rx sun lenses. The style is available in Tortoise, Matte Black, Matte Orchid, and Matte Tortuga Fade frame colors with Gray, Copper, Blue mirror, Green mirror, Silver mirror, and Sunrise lens color options.

THE CLASSIC CHECK
Luxottica introduces The Regent Collection, Burberry’s Spring/Summer 2016 collection of three sunwear and two optical styles for women. Burberry’s global flagship store at 121 Regent St. in London, housing digital innovation as well as Grade II architecture, served as inspiration for the collection.
Frames in the collection feature Burberry’s classic check design in three different ways: debossed brushed check on metal created via a stamping process, gradient-raised check detailing created from a 3D-rendered mold for a contemporary graphic effect, and all-over raised check. The color palette includes Parade Red, Toffee, Classic Black, and Tortoise, as well as gradient-effect Pale Rose and Trench, in frosted matte translucent acetate, brushed, and shiny metal. Suggested retail pricing starts at $245.
