The Italian jewelry designer Bea Bongiasca has collaborated with Linda Farrow for a capsule collection with a playful twist. Composed of three classic frame shapes, the capsule collection combines the brightly colored vines that wrap around the fingers in Bongiasca’s Baby Vine rings with a playful twist on tradition. Bea Bongiasca says, “The frames and shapes of the glasses are by Linda Farrow. We added our own signature colors and vines. The idea was to decorate the sunglasses with both colorful and metallic branches, just like they wrap jewelry. The packaging is also very pop and colorful, so it represents our style very well. Linda Farrow is a pioneering brand in the optical industry, very innovative and absolutely rule-breaking. I had my doubts at the beginning because I had never designed eyewear before and I was very lucky to work with Linda Farrow because they are masters in their field and moreover they are very open to try new, unconventional ideas. We made mood boards and did some quick sketches so they could tell us which direction was most achievable and would give the best design result.”
