Get your eyes on Mulberry
Mulberry is adding eyewear to its steadily
growing product portfolio. For spring, the British brand collaborated with cult
London designer
and vintage label Cutler & Gross on a five-piece collection of sunglasses.
It is inspired by Cutler & Gross archive pieces from the early Eighties and
Nineties, and will make its debut later this month. Cutler & Gross founder
Monica Chong told WWD Thursday, "We've made classic pieces, but with a
modern twist. We have always admired Mulberry. They are very British, like
us." The five Mulberry eyewear designs will include a classic aviator,
along with pieces dubbed Betsie, Jackie, Francis and Debbie. Each is handmade
in France or Italy and
priced at 225 pounds.
