Rag & Bone Sunglasses

With their usual quality and craftsmanship, American brand Rag & Bone hope to diversify their line-up as they launch a new collection of eyewear. The sunglasses, are featured in their 2010 spring collection. Aesthetically, the pieces draw on classical overtones such as tortoiseshell; technically speaking, each frame is hand-cut from sheet acetate, hand-polishe and finished with double-reinforced hinges.

Good thing the brand is introducing its first-ever eyewear, which will hit the runways at the Spring 2010 show tomorrow. The boxy, angular frames are hand-cut and -polished in Japan and 100 percent UVA/UVB protective. They'll debut this January exclusively at Rag's new Mercer Street store.

104 Christopher Street (between Bleecker and Bedford Streets); (212) 727-2990.
