Warby Parker and New York-based brand Theophilio have unveiled their bold new sunglasses, Shaunie. This collaboration draws inspiration from Theophilio designer Edvin Thompson’s childhood in Jamaica, where fruit trees adorned his backyard.
Warby Parker x Theophilio Sunglasses Collaboration
The Shaunie line features three vibrant colorways: Shade, a sophisticated grey and black combination; Lemon Slice, a bright yellow and orange shade; and Sorrel, a striking green and red mix. This collab complements Warby Parker’s summer collection, adding vibrant, statement-making sunglasses perfect for the sunny season.
Starting at $145, each pair of these wide-frame sunglasses is crafted by layering opaque acetate over a crystal shade and then carving it away to create an organic futuristic outline. This innovative design process produces a unique, eye-catching look that blends influences from the 70s and 2000s.
“These sunglasses are like a memoir for me. I see my adolescence and my parents in them, but I also see the shape of things still to come. This collaboration is about where I’m from as a designer and where I’m going next,” Edvin Thompson shares, reflecting on the personal significance.
