The solar-softening spectacles are the result of a [crafty collaboration](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/rimowa-x-mykita) with artist Parra and associated Rockwell. Made of bamboo, these sunnies take the look of [classic Ray-Bans](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/akila-blackbird-x-the-beatles), with metal detailing in the corners and oblong oval specs. Pairs come in a variety of colors including a sandy red, mustard yellow and an aqueous turquoise with midnight-hued lenses. Taking on a cartoony form, the hipster frames boast serious 100% UV protection. Waiting for the Sun 'LA Une' sunglasses even come with a matching scarf, imprinted with graphic textile design by the same artist. Look out for these [limited edition shades](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/rverie-collection) on Moustach Madrid, and hopefully we'll see them in stores soon. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 4.3/10 - Popularity: 60% | Activity: 60% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Gen Z, Millennial - Top markets: North America, Europe ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Business](https://www.trendhunter.com/business) > [New Ventures](https://www.trendhunter.com/newventures) ## Key Themes ### What's Driving This Trend - **Bamboo Sunglasses:** Businesses can explore the use of sustainable materials in their products and market them as eco-friendly alternatives to traditional options. - **Collaborative Artistry:** Companies can partner with artists to create unique products and leverage their fan base for increased brand recognition and sales. - **Limited Edition Products:** Brands can create limited edition versions of their products to create buzz and exclusivity, driving sales among trendsetters and collectors. ### Who This Affects Most - **Fashion:** Fashion companies can experiment with eco-friendly materials and artistic collaborations to create unique products and build their brand identity. - **Eyewear:** Eyewear brands can explore the use of sustainable materials to create sunglasses and prescription glasses that appeal to environmentally conscious consumers. - **Art:** Artists and galleries can partner with brands to create limited edition products that showcase their unique style and creative vision. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Special Edition Sunglasses Collections](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/waiting-for-the-sun-x-percival.md) - [Color-Changing Eyewear](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/rayban-original-wayfarer-change-transitions.md) - [70s-Style Sport Sunglasses](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/sunski-strada.md) - [Vintage-Inspired Wooden Sunglasses](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/delray-se-sunglasses.md) - [Dynamically Redesigned Sunglasses](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/the-blacked-out-collection.md) - [Bold Artful Summer-Ready Sunglasses](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/asociety.md) - [Mod Band-Honoring Sunglasses](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/akila-blackbird-x-the-beatles.md) - [Transparent Crystal Sunglasses Frames](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/the-harwood-20.md) - [Bubble-Like Sunglasses Drop](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/upside-down-sunglasses.md)
