Pulling the wool over your eyewear: Lunettes Kollektion x Cooperative Designs

Another of our big favourites of 2011, Berlin's Lunettes Kollektion, has started the New Year well, announcing this 2012 collaboraton with London's witty knitters Cooperative Designs.

Hand-crocheted spectacle chains from Cooperative Designs combine with five Lunettes sunglasses which have been transformed with lens cut-outs for the "Wish you were here" sunglass collection.

Genius.

Available at selected stores priced £270 or €299 and online from Lunettes Kollektion.

Ewe Year Glasses: pure new wool and perfect stitches

This time last year, I noticed that transposing two letters in Eye Wear Glasses made Ewe Year Glasses, which sounded a bit like New Year Glasses. 

In a vague attempt to justify this pun I mentioned sheep. Keen to repeat my discovery for 2012, I have again tracked down sheep-related glasses, in the shape of these Miracle Megane knitted frames. These have been made especially for Christmas by Japanese brand Miraco.They're available from Zozo and are lenses-free.

Happy Ewe Year! "Pure new wool and perfect stitches," comes from this little ditty by the Sultans of Ping FC...
