The Leith for Warby Parker collection is something that will be coveted by many women, although they are fairly youthful and feminine. Yet the silhouettes have clearly been inspired by vintage styles, which give them a timeless appeal many will appreciate. The founder of Lula Magazine, stylist Leith Clark, knew exactly what she was doing when collaborating on this project.
From cat-eyed glasses with white frames to round-shaped sunglasses with purple lenses, the Leith for Warby Parker collection has something for everyone. It boasts five different styles all together. What makes the collection even more appealing is the fact that for every pair bought, one will be given to someone in need. As well, a portion of all sales goes to Girl Up, a United Nations Foundation campaign.
