TITANIUM TREND
Costa expands its titanium collection of sunglasses with activewear sports frames in four new Rx-able styles.
“We’ve noticed that premium metals are a strong trend in the marketplace right now, and we have great interest in our titanium styles, so we looked to expand our titanium offering to those Costa fans who are looking for a sportier style,” says John Sanchez, VP of product development.
New styles Helo (pictured here) and Skimmer are back-chassis 6-base frames. Pilothouse and Turret are full-rim 8-base wrap frames.
Standout design features include built-in spring hinges, bio-resin adjustable temple tips co-injected with Hydrolite rubber for better grip and comfort, and a new air-cushion, full-motion nose pad. The suggested retail price range is $219 to $239.
BOLD SPIRIT
De Rigo REM launches the Converse optical collection for Spring/Summer 2019, infused with the brand’s creative and unique spirit.
New styles for men and women stand out in rich acetate and lightweight stainless steel in on-trend silhouettes with fearless pops of color and custom patterns (including the introduction of an exclusive Dover Leopard print). Plus, the brand’s iconic star chevron is emphasized this season—reinterpreted on the temple, wire core, end piece, and temple tips in different mediums for unique plays on the eye-catching logo. Select styles include spring hinges and adjustable nose pads—highlighting the brand’s commitment to functionality and durability.
Pictured are styles Q320 (left) and Q207. Suggested retail pricing is $162.
