Bottega Veneta First Eyewear Collection

[Harryx]

It is no surprise that Bottega Veneta is enjoying a massive following. Tomas Maier, the German born creative director of the famous Italian brand (known for it's exquisite leather pieces), has been a master of jet set - chic aesthetics that people can't get enough of. The designer, who is now based in Paris, had previously worked for Hermès, Sonia Rykiel and Revillon so he is no stranger to this philosophy.
The new eyerwear collection is a natural continuation of this sophisticated, refined spirit. All the frames are featuring Bottega Veneta's five-stud temple with a butterfly inside and are created in collaboration with the famous Safilo Group. The first eight styles have introduced now, and the rest six will follow shortly.

This is so exciting! It's a pity they hadn't come out with the collection earlier, I just bought new frames!

Let's see how expensive they are! The clothes are...

Well judging by the fact that I was able to get Missoni frames for $50, and Dolce & Gabbana were available for $60, maybe eventually they'll be available for that price. But I guess since it's the first year of the collection, prices will probably be higher.
