FINLAY has introduced 'The Chiltern,' a limited-edition sunglass collection created in collaboration with musician Noel Gallagher, with proceeds supporting the Teenage Cancer Trust. The collaboration aims to generate funding for the charity’s programs, which provide specialist care, information, and resources to young people diagnosed with cancer in the United Kingdom.
Under the terms of the initiative, "25% of the sale price from each pair—including 100% of Noel Gallagher’s royalties—will be donated to the Teenage Cancer Trust; these contributions are intended to help sustain the organization’s services and outreach."
The Chiltern combines FINLAY’s eyewear craftsmanship with design elements developed in partnership with Gallagher, resulting in a collection positioned to appeal to both fashion-conscious consumers and supporters of the cause. The release ultimately reflects FINLAY’s ongoing engagement in collaborative projects that align product development with charitable contributions.
