Blue Planet Eyewear Releases New Eco-Fashion Styles for Spring & Summer

CARPINTERIA, Calif., March 26, 2018 -- Blue Planet Eyewear, a mission-driven, eco-fashion brand of classic and eclectic eyewear thoughtfully crafted and designed to make a positive impact on the Earth, is proud to announce the release of its newest fashion-forward sunglass styles. The eco-friendly company has released eight new styles, perfect for making a splash this Spring Break or for making a bold statement during festival season. The new styles will include their signature bamboo and wood temples with newly added natural materials such as rose woods, zebra woods, as well as reflective color and gradient color lenses that are highly anticipated for spring and summer fashion.

Spring Styles

“Our latest styles were influenced by vintage nostalgia and cutting-edge trend projections to create a frame and a lens for everyone,” said Lisa Lawenda, CEO of Blue Planet Eyewear. “Sunglasses and readers have undoubtedly become more of a fashion statement for the style conscious, but they are undeniably a necessity when it comes to seeing more clearly and protecting eyes from the sun, as well as the elements.”
