Phil reflected on the icons of style and the eras of fashion when eyewear was as crucial to an outfit as the crisp button-down shirt or pleated trouser. A period of time that evokes cool, understated style - The 50s. Phil took this classic design with thicker frames and metal detailing to create our first pair of sunglasses. To pay homage to this period, we have finished the sunglasses in both tortoiseshell and glass black. We’ve introduced a unique metal detailing on the hinge that wraps effortlessly around to the front, further enhancing the retro silhouette.  Limited run of 250 per colour. Since the very beginning of &SONS I have wanted to produce a range of eyewear. I am incredibly proud of what we have achieved with our first pair.
