Linda Farrow & Pfb’s 2nd Time

The stunning Bajan-inspired Peoples from Barbados (PFB) custom collaboration series continues with the world-renowned British luxury eyewear brand, Linda Farrow, and the release of a new luxurious unisex sunglass style. Continuing the evocative theme of light and colour in the Bajan sunsets of the first edition by studying the nuances of the light of day, the collaboration design represents a new and vibrant interpretation of a timeless classic at Linda Farrow, with a squared unisex eye shape, finished to perfection according to the advanced quality and design standards of the Linda Farrow brand. The frame has been selected for its timeless, versatile style, ideal for many face shapes, and its outstandingly comfortable fit thanks to the precise shaping of the nose bridge – an advanced detail that perfectly suits the diversity of the Barbados demographic.  Designed in 3 custom colorways of sorrel, caramel or emerald green, the gradient colour effects on the temples of the design have been developed with particular attention to detail, radiating with the light effects and colours of three different moments in the day – early morning, mid-day and evening, on the Caribbean island’s paradisiacal shores.
