Barton Perreira has introduced the Vedretta sunglass, the latest release from its ongoing collaboration with the 007 James Bond franchise. Presented as the 12th design created through the partnership, the model brings the refined and confident style associated with the Bond character into the present day. The design draws inspiration from the alpine atmosphere and visual aesthetic of the 1985 film A View To A Kill. Vedretta is presented in a sculptural aviator silhouette that reinterprets the classic shape through a modern lens. Sharp lines and balanced proportions give the model a look that feels both timeless and contemporary. Produced in Japan, the sunglass reflects the brand’s commitment to materials, craftsmanship, and attention to detail. The front features a beveled acetate construction, while lightweight titanium is used for the temples. The combination of acetate and titanium creates a balanced structure that delivers both durability and comfort. Custom engravings along the temples and subtle 007 details add a distinctive touch to the design. A cool-toned color palette references the understated elegance of alpine landscapes. Vedretta is available in three different color options. Released as a limited-edition style, the model brings together Barton Perreira’s craftsmanship with the iconic aesthetic of the James Bond universe.
