After 10 samples and 2.5 years, I present to you:
Audrey, Milo and Knox
If you're new here, welcome! If you've been here awhile, you know how much I love sharing the creation story behind our sunglasses. Today I wanted to share a deep dive on every design consideration of our latest collection.
It's launching next week -- I hope you love it as much as I do.
As you know we approach every design from the inside out, so here were the priorities :
1. **UV Protection**: Ensure lenses block 100% of UVA and UVB rays to protect the eyes from harmful ultraviolet radiation.
2. **Lens Quality**: Use high-quality materials like polycarbonate or glass for clear vision and durability. Consider polarized lenses to reduce glare.
3. **Fit and Comfort**: Design frames that fit well on various face shapes and sizes, with adjustable nose pads and lightweight materials for long-term wear comfort.
4. **Durability**: Utilize robust materials for frames and lenses to withstand daily wear and tear, as well as accidental drops.
5. **Style and Aesthetics**: Offer a variety of frame shapes, colors, and finishes to cater to different fashion preferences and trends.
6. **Scratch Resistance**: Apply scratch-resistant coatings on lenses to maintain clarity and extend the lifespan of the sunglasses.
7. **Impact Resistance**: Ensure lenses are impact-resistant to provide eye protection during sports or outdoor activities.
8. **Anti-Reflective Coating**: Use anti-reflective coatings on the lenses to reduce reflections and improve visual comfort.
9. **Prescription Compatibility**: Design frames that can accommodate prescription lenses for those who need vision correction.
10. **Eco-Friendliness**: Consider sustainable materials and environmentally friendly manufacturing processes to appeal to eco-conscious consumers.
Multiple events to wear them
Sunglasses can be worn for various events and occasions where protection from the sun and stylish appearance are important. Here are some events where wearing sunglasses is appropriate:
1. **Beach Outings**: Essential for protecting eyes from the intense sunlight and reflective water surfaces.
2. **Outdoor Sports Events**: Ideal for activities like tennis, golf, or beach volleyball to reduce glare and enhance visibility.
3. **Music Festivals**: Stylish sunglasses complement festival outfits while protecting eyes from the sun during long outdoor performances.
4. **Picnics and Barbecues**: Practical for comfort and style during sunny gatherings with friends and family.
5. **Weddings and Outdoor Parties**: Stylish sunglasses add flair to formal or casual outdoor events, especially summer weddings.
6. **Travel and Road Trips**: Essential for reducing glare while driving and for sightseeing in sunny destinations.
7. **Hiking and Camping**: Protect eyes from the sun and enhance visibility in natural, sunlit environments.
8. **Skiing and Snowboarding**: Specially designed sunglasses or goggles protect eyes from snow glare and UV rays.
9. **Fishing Trips**: Polarized sunglasses reduce water glare and improve visibility for a better fishing experience.
10. **Daily Commute**: Useful for driving or walking to work on sunny days, ensuring clear vision and eye comfort.
I hope this answers any questions you may have had about our new sunnies, and I'm so excited to hear what you think of it.
