New Audrey Hepburn-style Tiffany sunglasses
Posted by Team Boxwish 3 months ago
Ever fancied yourself standing outside New York’s Tiffany and Co. store of a morning, munching on a pastry, slurping on a coffee and dressed in a stunning Givenchy little black dress? It’s a daydream shared by Audrey Hepburn’s loyal army of fashion followers, style mavens ever eager to emulate the icon in her most fabulous role, that of Manhattan ‘kook’, Holly Golightly in Breakfast at Tiffany’s. However, even if you’ve got the pastry, coffee and dress, one intrinsic part of the scene has been tough to nail – the oversized shades. Originally made by sunglasses giant, Ray-Ban, they’ve been unavailable for ages. Good job then that Tiffany themselves have stepped up and released a pair that radiates Hepburn chic.
Called the Tiffany Charm sunglasses, these sunglasses are just the thing for aspiring Holly’s. They’re oversized, share that same distinctive soft shape and are pure luxury. They’re available in all sorts of exciting combinations; the frames coming in three colours – black (as per Holly), Tiffany blue and the more adventurous, purple, while the lenses are yours in grey, brown or violet.
But the real bonus is suggested in the name, as these sunglasses also feature charms you can add or remove. Flash the Tiffany brand with a T logo or swap wearing your heart on your sleeve for wearing it on your sunglasses’ temple. These innovative and gorgeous additions add a level of personalisation and fun to the stylish accessories and will surely be copied by other brands shortly.
Retailing for over £200 or $320, sunglasses might be the last thing you’re thinking of buying presently as the winter cold bites, but they’ll earn their keep come summer.
Get them at ILORI stores in the US.
