KBL Whiskey Bandit
Posted on 02. Mar, 2010 by bespokeordie in New, Trends
    New York based eyewear maker KBL has been on my radar for some time. The company has only been around since 2007 and has made quick strides in the world of fashion thanks to some pretty big time experience from Adam and Kara Mendelsohn and Dave Barton whose collective experience includes strong industry names like Calvin Klein, Marc Jacobs, Michael Kors, Oliver Peoples, Thakoon, and Zac Posen. KBL’s Collection #2 features great colorways inspired from a vintage eyewear showroom Adam stumbled upon during a recent trip to Treviso, Italy.  Seven styles are offered including four unisex models but the “Whiskey Bandit” silhouette captured my heart at first glance. Each frame is made with the finest Italian acetate, Mazzucchelli (say that three times fast), and features CR39 100% UV protected lenses, signature KBL enamel temple tips stripes, and gunmetal shiny/matte hardware. Mark these words folks, acetate aviator shaped frames with gradient lenses are going to be huge this Summer. Huge like the Stay Puft Marshmallow Man in Ghostbusters just in case you need a reference circa 1984.
