John Varvatos Eyewear Introduces Limited Edition V908 Guitar Pick Sunglasses
LOS ANGELES- February 15, 2012- From the man who loves rock’n’roll comes a handcrafted piece of indispensable gear that strikes at the heart of any stage-rocking guitarist: the limited edition, guitar pick-enhanced John Varvatos V908 sunglasses. In the ideal jam session of function and fashion, these bold sunglasses are designed with a slot in each temple that securely holds a custom John Varvatos guitar pick, doubling as an iconic style element and musician’s tool.
With only 200 hand-numbered pieces, this masculine silhouette is ingenuously constructed from two rich layers of acetate for the discerning musician, furnishing the wearer with two things he should never be without- his guitar picks and his style. Each frame comes with four picks emblazoned with the John Varvatos signature hallmarks, in classic gun metal and an edgy ox-blood red.
