21.12.2010 Alfred Dunhill Eyewear by Rodenstock in the USA
The sunglasses collection by luxury British
men's brand Alfred Dunhill will now be available from the
acclaimed American department store Neiman Marcus. The range
will initially be available in six selected shops – Beverly
Hills (California), Las Vegas (Nevada), Northbrook (Illinois),
Coral Gables (Florida), Houston (Texas) and Paramus (New Jersey)
– but further expansion to all Neiman Marcus stores in the
United States is already being planned.
The
exclusive cooperation between Rodenstock and dunhill continues
after great success across markets in Europe, Asia and the
Middle East.
The range is divided into three
lines, based on the different distinctive features of the
dunhill brand. The "casual" line features acetate and
metal spectacles in the typical "Brit" look with
different material combinations such as with model D 1009,
retro-style sunglasses with striking acetate on the upper edge
of the frame and metal on the lower edge. Other
"casual" sunglasses models give the popular aviator
shape a modern interpretation with a double bridge to provide a
choice for the young British look. The models from the
"classic" collection appeal with their authentic and
timeless value. Luxurious decorative elements such as
diamond-cut surfaces on the sides or painted bridges as well as
fine materials like titanium and wood make the classical
spectacles into a very special accessory. The sunglasses in the
"sport" line, on the other hand, are convincing with
their dynamic design and clear lines. Different surfaces and
carbon fibres integrated into rubber, as well as sporty, curved
lenses, emphasise the claim of being a luxury brand even among
sporty models.
Timeless masculine colours
dominate the Alfred Dunhill collection across all three lines –
specifically different shades of brown and grey, as well as
Havana, black and gun. Each of the men's spectacles is
available in three colours. The vintage logo of Alfred Dunhill
placed on the sides of all frames stands for the luxury of this
British brand.
The Alfred Dunhill spectacles
have already been available since spring/summer 2010 worldwide
from specialised opticians. There is a specially adapted
collection for the Asian customer.
