Although I've seen some variations of the Illesteva Leonard sunglasses in affordable retail chains such as [H&M](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/hm-and-elf-cosmetics), there is definitely a sense of legitimacy about this addition to the line that make them highly desirable. Having launched its very first line in the Spring/Summer season to great success, Illesteva has added this design to keep things fresh and in the news.

Inspired by 50s Havana, Cuba, the Illesteva Leonard sunglasses definitely do have a [vintage look](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/vintage-soul-collection) to them. Available in two colors (gold and tortoise shell), they will surely complement any outfit during these hot, sunny days.
