I once had a badass pair of red sunglasses. I privately considered them my Stunna Shades. One sunny day while I was living in LA, I parked my little red Hyundai Tiburon by the Santa Monica pier, got outta the car in my red Stunna Shades, and began to walk to the beach. A man hollered at me: “Hey Stunna Shades! What are you up to?”
… it was a fabulous moment.
Unfortunately, the man was not attractive and we did not continue the conversation.
Less awesome but still pretty sweet, the Austin-based Knit Graffiti Artist Magda Sayeg (you know you’ve seen her knit columns, as she’s credited with spawning the international phenomenon known as yarn bombing) has designed/knit a capsule collection of sunglasses at Sunglass Hut. I call them Knitta Shades.
Her limited edition sunglass collection will be available exclusively online at Sunglass Hut for their 4th annual Sunglass Hut Artist Series Collection. The sunglasses are priced at $130/pair and Sunglass Hut will donate $30 of each sale to their charity OneSight, which provides charitable vision care and education.
She also has a company called Knitta, at KnittaPlease.com …
