Bridges are inspiration for Tumi

REM Eyewear has released the 2013 sunglass collection from designer accessories brand Tumi. Models in the new collection, each named after famous bridges around the world, feature a Carl Zeiss lens which the manufacturer said had been developed specifically for the collection. The new Tumi ZR3 polarised lens was said to deliver superior optical and visual performance.

The Bolte sunglass (1) is named after the double suspension Bolte Bridge in Melbourne and features acetate and metal construction and a subtle double nose bridge. Featuring a modified version of the Wayfarer silhouette, the model also sports acid etched Tumi detailing on the temples and bridge. The Fremont sunglass (2) also uses the Wayfarer silhouette as a base and is named after the steel-tied Fremont Bridge in Portland Oregon. More angular in structure, the style features the Tumi pattern on the nose bridge and temples.
