Contego 2011 Spring Sunglasses

Contego’s anticipated Spring/Summer 2011 collection lands in stores this week. This delivery sees an offering of 12 handcrafted, high-quality acetate frames that take inspiration from older, more traditional silhouettes with a contemporary twist. Naming each of their frames after winners of the Nobel Prize in Literature, Contego continues to look to those men and women who’ve produced “the most outstanding work in an ideal direction” to carve out a niche in the eyewear market. The Morrison (Toni Morrison), Kipling (Rudyard Kipling), Hesse (Hermann Hesse) and Eliot (T.S. Eliot) are each offered in 3 unique colorways for Spring 2011. An online release is scheduled for March 11 via Contegoeyewear.com.
