PORTLAND, Ore. (BRAIN) — Rapha is entering a new product category with its first eyewear, the Rapha Classic Glasses.
The new glasses have acetate frames, handmade by Italy's Mazzucchelli, and Carl Zeiss lenses.
The company said the new glasses fill a gap between technical sport glasses and lifetsyle glasses.
"Luxury materials and finishes combined with modern, relevant design and product function for performance target this gap in the market currently trending more to the Sport side of the axis," the company said.
The glasses are available in Black frame with green lens, Tortoise frames with brown lens and Smoke frame with pink lens. They have a nickel hinge, wire core in the temples, soft-grip rubber temple tips and they weight 30 grams. They are ready for prescriptions by a qualified optician and the acetate frame is moldable for fit.
They are packaged in a black tin with cork insert, leather hinges, velvet flock lined inner. They retail for $295.
