New Episode for women

UK manufacturer and distributor International Eyewear has added a new model to its in-house Episode collection. The new Episode 179 frame (1) is a large full rim style constructed from metal and acetate. It has a rounded cat's eye shape with textured temples - which feature two-tone acetate detailing. Frames in the Episode collection are supplied with a chocolate coloured case with bright pink interior.

The company has also extended its distribution offering with the release of two new models from the Brendel brand from Eschenbach Optik.
