Eastern States’ Exces Collection Unveils ‘Montage’
Quick Take: Eastern States Eyewear has announced the launch of Exces Montage, a new concept from Exces Eyewear.
Specifics: This release consists of a total of five styles, three for this fall with two more planned for January.
Selling Points: Montage is defined by its thin stainless steel design and its clever use of an epoxy coating. The result of this coating is rich finish that has a slight crown at its apex and thus sports a slight color fade due to the natural flow of the epoxy. Styles such as the Montage 5000 and 5001 feature laser cutting and raised points on the metal underneath the epoxy to give the frame a more multi-dimensional effect. The collection sports a variety of modern shapes with a nod to a classic, retro feel and is targeted to women of all ages.
