Fashion has long been an intimate expression of the soul. What you wear says a lot about your personality and what statement you stand to make. We have come a long way from purchasing apparel and accessories just for the look. The products you wear are an extension of who you are, and Blackburn has emerged as a new brand of sunglasses that creates beautiful frames with a sense of community at its core. A blend of ethereal quality, inclusivity, and heartfelt community commitment, Blackburn channels the essence of modern femininity with a touch of timeless allure.
Invoking memories of timeless designs many have cherished, Blackburn's debut collection is a dreamy ensemble. Imagine walking boldly down the avenue in oversized aviators or losing oneself in the allure of mystical split-lens cat eyes. From the bold statement of oversized rectangles to the soft nostalgia of retro round frames – every Blackburn piece whispers tales of elegance and strength.
Beauty with depth and purpose
Sunglasses, in the hands of Blackburn, become more than a style statement; they become a narrative. A narrative where 80% of its chapters talk of giving back – to artisanal Italian communities, to ensuring a better climate for us and the future, and to the growth of a brand that believes in more than just profit.
Dreamed in the artistic corners of California and brought to life by skilled Italian hands with an age-old legacy of craftsmanship, Blackburn interlaces sustainability into its ethos. The brand's heart beats in sync with green initiatives like Stripe’s Climate and GRID Alternatives, generously propelling solar energy and environmental consciousness. Blackburn is also not shy about transitioning to biodegradable acetate by 2025, cementing its pledge with action to create a more beautiful world.
Graceful luxury, handcrafted with love
Every Blackburn shade is a sonnet of sophistication, meticulously handcrafted to echo perfection, yet without the weighty price tags, all delightfully under $90. “Many affordable options seemed to fade in quality. With Blackburn, we've woven a tapestry of sunglasses infused with the essence of Italian craftsmanship, keeping luxury within reach” says Stephen Cheung, founder of Blackburn. It makes sense that Blackburn deliberately chooses purpose over profits as affordability shine as one of the many attractive traits of this emerging boutique.
With a palette as varied as the moods of the hearts of men and women everywhere, Blackburn offers seven distinctive frame styles bathed in an array of hues. Crafted to accentuate and caress feminine features, these frames not only look divine but feel heavenly. “We've poured our hearts into designing pieces that seamlessly fit and elevates your individual style,” Stephen elucidates. With gentle tweaks, like adjusting the nose bridge or enhancing grip with softer silicone pads, Blackburn is making sure its frames are comfortable for all genders, ethnic facial features, and sizes across the world.
At its heart, Blackburn sings a lullaby of embracing a global community, rising to the occasion, and making a statement one frame at a time.
