De Rigo: British modernity

With a first collection launched at 100% Optical in 2019, De Rigo returned to this year’s show to release the second Mulberry collection for SS20. Founded in Somerset in 1971, Mulberry is a British brand best known for its iconic handbags and reimagining of classic styling and heritage.

Tartan patterns, Swarovski crystal detailing and gold chained temples all feature in the SS20 collection and create an aura of exclusivity. The SML067S sunglasses frame sports Swarovski crystals embedded in its brow-bar, which continue down the side of the aviator shaped rims to where the temples attach.

A blue-grey gradient tint speaks to a summer evening with the frames perfect for a glamorous outing. Adjustable nose-pads and dark-blue acetate temple tips provide functional detailing consistent with the frame’s styling.
