Inspired by eight British style icons (including Kate Moss), the designs feature a number of different shapes and colours to suit.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Mulberry’s eyewear is being made in a deal with Italy\u2019s De Rigo and all the pieces were made in Italy, which is the favoured location for designer eyewear brands as the country is acknowledged as the global leader in the high-end eyewear sector.<\/p>\n

The brand\u2019s Regent Street flagship store will officially launch the collection during London Fashion Week, with an \u201cimmersive experience space and a storefront installation celebrating this new category and its inspiration.\u201d<\/p>\n

The styles will also be available through select opticians with prices ranging from \u00a3190 to \u00a3220. Look out for the sunglasses making an appearance in airport boutiques and duty free stores over the summer months.<\/p>\n

The eyewear features eight styles \u201cinspired by British style icons\u201d that \u201ceach resonate with the youthful, irrepressible spirit of our heritage and this season\u2019s inspiration,\u201d the company said.<\/p>\n

Its latest apparel collection is influenced by \u201cthe Mod liberation of the sixties\u2026 an era when distinctive eyewear silhouettes became synonymous with British cultural icons.\u201d That means for the eyewear itself, that influence is also being felt, but a \u201cfresh, playful edge has been added to these retro influences to create a bold but timeless collection.\u201d<\/p>\n

The Mulberry frames come in a range of materials with the models named Kate, Jane, Emma, Charlotte and Gian being made in chunky acetate, while the Tony and Lenny styles are shaped from a lightweight metal wire. The final silhouette, the Enyd, combines both in a hybrid style.<\/p>\n

And the colour palette \u201cborrows from the seasonal ready-to-wear, showcasing shades from hibiscus red to sorbet pink, as well as \u201ctimeless\u201d black and golden metallics.<\/p>\n

Here are all the styles available to shop right now:<\/strong><\/p>\n
