Mondelliani Sunglasses Brings Bright Italian Color to Spring Eyewear
My latest discovery is such a gem. The brightly colored eyewear of Mondelliani are just what the doctor ordered after such a dark and chilly winter. I was able to get a small preview of the collection a few days ago and was immediately smitten.
The glasses, which come in both sunnies and prescription-ready, are made in Italy and hand finished. In keeping with their heritage, the collections are named after Sicilian Islands and carry names like Eolie and N. Punto. Unfortunately, the pictures I took, nor do the pictures on their website, do the brand any justice. You have to see with your own eyes the richness of the color and feel with your own hands the balance.
The brand is preparing a big launch in the US. I'm looking forward to it. I think the sunglasses business needs a little spicing up and this could be the brand to do it. In the meantime, if you live in New York City, Studio Optix in Rockefeller Center carries them. If you don't live in New York City, don't worry, the wait won't be long.
