Brooklyn-based eyewear brand Contego continues its salute to Nobel Laureates with two new frames from its Season 2 Collection. These diverse designs named after authors Ernest Hemingway and Mario Vargas Llosa come in six different handcrafted acetates. Featuring CR39 lenses with 100% UVA/UVB protection, temples are fitted with stainless steel optical spring hinges and accented by the brand’s umbrella logo and drops. The Hemingway frame salutes the literary icon’s influence and impact on contemporary style. While The Llosa design draws from the versatility of the author’s voice and his commitment to social change, Contego continues to work with RestoringVision.org to help the less fortunate achieve the basic human right of sight. This complete collection from Contego is now available through the brand’s webstore and accounts worldwide.
