Stella McCartney daughter of Beatles legend Paul, is soon to launch her own range of eco-friendly sunglasses that will be added to her spring collection.
The new collection will have 5 pairs of eco-friendly sunglasses, three of which that have frames made from acetate and two of which have metal frames. The two styles use a
different type of plastic unlike the traditional style of glasses, which makes them better for the environment. Most soft framed sunglasses are usually produced from plastics that contain petroleum components, but these new eco-friendly glasses are made with a 54%
influence from castor oil seeds, which are an incredible renewable source. The three frames produced from the new acetate plastic are unique to the industry. The acetate
plastic itself combines cellulose with natural plastics made with citric acids. Stella is very fond of her work is extremely proud of her new eco-friendly sunglasses, but she mentioned that the whole experiment was very difficult.
"The greatest challenge was the amount of time that was spent on research and
testing to get the best quality product possible with the highest performance
in terms of resistance, while still maintaining the style and finish we always
try to achieve". This is not the first time Ms McCartney has had an eco-friendly thought and ideas to launch. The designer has, in the past, added vegan high heels to her label. With enough time and effort ,different brands and labels can start thinking about bringing out more environmental and economically friendly sunglasses as well as other fashion accessories. If you decide to buy a pair of eco sunglasses, not only do they look fabulous but also you feel good about yourself, you’ve purchased something that can make a
difference. Hopefully Stella will lead and inspire a new flurry of designers to
produce eco-friendly fashions in years to come.
