Foster Grant and ITV Studios dropped ‘Love Island x Foster Grant,’ a six-style sunglasses capsule available at CVS, Amazon and FosterGrant.com for $16.99 to $20. The Foster Grant Love Island sunglasses collection draws directly from the show’s villa aesthetic, featuring oval metal frames, bold square frames, aviators and rectangular styles with tinted and mirrored lenses. Each style is named after a villa moment, including ‘Coupled Up,’ ‘Throwing Shade,’ ‘Bombshell’ and ‘Beachy.’ All styles include scratch- and impact-resistant lenses with 100% UVA-UVB protection.
The capsule is also available through select UK retailers.
Foster Grant and Love Island show how pairing a reality TV brand with affordable fashion accessories can give consumers an easy way to bring a villa-inspired aesthetic into their summer wardrobe.
