Maui Jim and Vinylize create new frame

Maui Jim has teamed up with Budapest-based Vinylize to create a limited-edition frame built using the imagery and vinyl from a pressing of Tolo’s cover of Hula Blues.

Art, music and technology are all drawn together in the frame, Hula Blues, said Maui Jim. Not only is the vinyl of the record laminated with acetate but the acetate is handcrafted from the artwork of the record’s label. Bringing together Vinylize’s unique imagery and styling with Maui Jim’s PolarizedPlus2 lens technology creates the ultimate in timeless style and functionality it claimed.

The frame is a shallow Wayfarer outline with the striated vinyl to the outside and a vibrantly coloured tropical patterned inside. Gold lettering at the hinge displays the Vinylize logo and the temple inside with Hula Blues, the lens is laser etched with Maui Jim.
