Across Canada, the UK, Ireland, Australia and New Zealand, the Bluey Specsavers collection launched to share lightweight, comfortable eyewear styles for kids' everyday adventures. In all, there are four colorful frames for kids featuring character artwork, each made to support confidence and self-expression with designs that youth can look forward to wearing. On one pastel-blue acetate frame with a simple square shape, Bluey and his sister Bingo are depicted on the sides. For a sleeker look on the outside, the collection's green-blue style switches the pattern of Bluey and Bingo to the interior. Across the Bluey Specsavers collection, the eyewear comes with standard single-vision lenses, a scratch-resistant treatment, a case and a cloth.
In early September, the Bluey Specsavers collection will expand to Sweden, Denmark, Finland, the Netherlands, and Norway.
