L.G.R’s Explorer Collection is inspired by epic voyages
20/20 EUROPE TEAM FOR L.G.R // Sponsored Post
#L.G.R highlights the Explorer Collection: a lineup of sunglasses tailored for the intrepid souls driven by a passion for exploration, both in everyday life and the extraordinary. The collection has been inspired by epic voyages across Africa and a thirst for new adventures.
Curated by Luca Gnecchi Ruscone, the timeless L.G.R models Reunion, Asmara, Raffaello, Tripoli, Manda, and Fez have been selected for their aesthetic that embodies adventure, vitality, resilience, and a zest for life, and have been reimagined with a design that pays homage to the profound connection with Africa.
All of these models incorporate cellulose acetate side flaps with small and sophisticated apertures which are inspired by the lines of the three-light windows of Ottica Bini, the original optical store created by Luca’s grandfather in Asmara.
Crafted with precision, the handmade cellulose acetate frames paired with top-quality tempered mineral glass lenses ensure clarity and vision, allowing wearers to immerse themselves fully in their journey. From appreciating the minutest details of their surroundings to experiencing the raw beauty of nature and wilderness, these sunglasses are designed to elevate every adventure to new heights.
The unmistakable design of model Reunion has been further updated and enriched with an original leather insert carved in the hand-polished cellulose acetate, giving life to Reunion Explorer Skin; a fine example of Italian craftsmanship by the eyewear label.
