Louis Vuitton launches new sunglasses line with Marc Jacobs

December 16, 2009

Style mavens will be interested to know that Louis Vuitton has just released a new line of sunglasses. The shades are crafted by hand and the bright, bold colors of the line are based on the vibrant leather goods that the label purveys.

The plastic-framed sunglasses come in candy-colored hues like bubblegum pink and lime green, and the oversized frames have a seventies vibe.

If you notice that the large, squared specs have a look similar to the one favored by designer Marc Jacobs – well, it's because they are.
Jacobs teamed up with the Vuitton label to create the sunglasses which should be available in the New Year.

Your eye care professional would be happy to know that, along with timeless style, these sunglasses boast UV protective lenses.

Because the American Optometric Association recommends wearing sunglasses whenever you head outside during the day, those who wear corrective lenses might consider purchasing a pair of stylish shades and having them fitted with their prescription.

Prescription sunglasses can make driving and spending time outdoors safer and more comfortable for Americans who suffer from refractive errors.
