ProDesign Extends Iris Collection
More Images |
Specifics: Three new styles for women in four colors each.
Selling Points: The new Iris styles 5613, 5614 and 5615, offer striking details such as the feminine drops shape on the temple and the beautiful lines in the material. In keeping with the rest of the Iris collection, these frames are very feminine, but the classic shapes take them in a more unisex direction, creating a modern and classic look. The acetate material itself has a lot of effects, the inside of the frames reveal a pearl material, mixed from different tones of pearly acetate. The lines on the frames were created by milling down to the second layer done after the frames were cut and assembled.
