FROM GREY SKIES TO HAPPY EYES

Banish the winter blues with a statement pair of glasses from Orla Kiely’s Specsavers collection

Winter is only dull if you see it through the wrong lenses. Specsavers is helping banish the cold weather blues by teaming up with Orla Kiely to create a collection as vibrant and playful as the Irish designer’s textiles. Inspired by her childhood in Dublin, Orla has designed 15 different frames – 13 optical and two sunglasses.

“I am thrilled to be able to bring my unique and fun designs of optical eyewear and sunglasses to the Irish market,” says Orla. “It feels particularly meaningful as so many of my designs are inspired by my childhood growing up in Dublin, I was particularly influenced by vivid memories of Irish colours and nature. Hopefully you will enjoy the collection as much as I have enjoyed creating it.”

Make a statement this season with the Orla Kiely collection, from on-trend round frames featuring a stylish two-tone front in warm tortoiseshell and olive green, to chunky round sunglasses featuring a transparent front with a touch of pink, sleek caramel sides and subtle Orla Kiely detailing.

The Orla Kiely collection is available at Specsavers stores nationwide now, priced at €129. Shop the collection online at www.specsavers.ie/glasses/designer-glasses/orla-kiely.
