Ray-Ban has given its ultra-classic aviator shades a luxe new twist for 2010 with its new Craft Genuine Leather collection. The Craft Outdoorsman sunglasses are luxuriously detailed with hand stitched genuine deer leather accents and boast premium craftsmanship.

Ray-Ban Craft genuine leather collection.

Made in Italy they feature Ray-Ban’s trademark Crystal lenses for optimum optical clarity. The leather is designed to improve and beautify with age and use. The Outdoorsman is priced at $216 and a slimmer, more contemporary model, the Caravan, is priced at $171.

Both are now available in either gold with brown leather or silver with black leather combos and matching cases from haute online eyewear boutique Eyegoodies.

Every stylish man and woman runs around sporting the latest shades by the likes of Gucci, Ray-Ban or Chanel.   But the reality, is that there is one brand of shades that separates the wannabe’s from the true players — and those shades are Oliver Goldsmith.

Never heard of Oliver Goldsmith?   Well, now you have and here’s why you need to familiarize yourself with this brand:  They are handmade.

Working with the last original British eyewear factory, Oliver Goldsmith Sunglasses offer bespoke handmade frames, individually cut, shaped and polished by craftsmen with over 70 years of collective experience.

This means you can have them made for you in any colour or size you like. If you find that you can never get glasses to fit you, or perhaps you know exactly what you want but can’t find it anywhere, then our bespoke service is the answer.

OG are one of the few eyewear companies in the world offering a fully tailored service made to your specifications and wishes.

So if you are anything like me and have been graced with very long natural eyelashes, you know what a bothersome chore it is to try to find shades that properly fit without your lashes brushing against the lenses.  With bespoke frames from Oliver Goldsmith, you’ll have a timeless classic that is perfect for you.
