Today's eyewear makes an important fashion statement and reflects the wearer's character, style and social status. The old glasses were very small and were hidden behind fans held in ladies' hands. The Italian Luxottica company produces 17 leading brands which, besides protecting eyes against the sun, all make real fashion statements. Firms such as Giorgio Armani, Emporio Armani, Bvlgari, Chanel, Salvatore Ferragamo and others are all manufactured at the plant in Agordo, which produces 120,000 pairs each day, making it the biggest sunglass producing factory in the world. THIS summer eyewear is very happy, color-wise.
Lenses come in mauves and purples, browns and orange, greens, blues, etc.
Designs are inspired by sport and classical looks of the 1950s-70s. Only a trained eye can detect the differences because the similarities among manufacturers are overwhelming. The identifiers are the ear and nose pieces, accents and motifs. Along with this essential protection, enjoy the trendy styles and colors to accessorize any outfit. Prices run from NIS 400-2,000.
