The Warby Parker 'Flippies' have been unveiled as the brand's latest collaboration with Jimmy Fallon that promise to provide exceptional comfort that doesn't skimp on style. The glasses are crafted with hand-polished cellulose acetate with akulon-coated screws to enhance durability, while the scratch-resistant lenses block out 100% of UV rays. The eyewear features dual-direction arms that enable wearers to switch between Jet Black and Warby Blue colors on the front to match style preferences seamlessly.
The Warby Parker 'Flippies' are priced at $95 with 100% of the purchase price going towards supporting the Pupils Project, which provides schoolchildren with access to free eye exams, vision screening and glasses. The glasses make for a versatile addition to a person's collection thanks to their two-in-one design.
