'Behind the Blendz' is an ongoing feature giving you a glimpse at what it means to be in product development here at Blenders. The materials, the process, the people--we'll be covering it all in the coming months.
Hello everyone and welcome back!
Let's talk about our progressive styles that we offer here at Blenders Eyewear. These three shield style frames are all very different in shape but each maintain the same level of craftsmanship and quality, creating a happy little 'family' of frames. In this progressive (and very stylish) family, there is one frame in particular that just so happens to be one of my faves...
Scroll to find out which one. ;)
- same frame shape as our original Millenia
- polarized lenses
- 100% UVA/B protection
- anti-salt lens coating
- double barrel hinges
- full rim frame (an upgrade from our original Millenia)
- signature metal pin icon & metal stripes on the temples
The ‘Millenia X2’ is a staple product in our lineup as it's amongst one of our top-selling frames to date. We kept the lens shape on this style the same as our original Millenia (from back in the day) but added a full rim which creates an overall more durable frame structure. Another pro of having a full rim is that it's added protection for the lens, making it less likely for scuffs and scratches to happen. Because you all loved this style so much, we wanted to expand on this concept further by offering the two additional frames listed below, in the spirit of keeping things fresh. This, however, is the classic unisex frame loved by all!
- flat brow bar & apple bottom lens shape
- polarized lenses
- 100% UVA/B protection
- anti-salt lens coating
- double barrel hinges
- full rim frame
- signature metal pin icon & metal stripes on the temples
Say hello to our ‘SciFi’ Collection! In my opinion, this is one of the more futuristic frame shapes we offer. Similar to the ‘Millenia X2,’ this style is also unisex and can be a perfect go-to when you need a quick pop of color or a statement piece to complete your fit. Dark Flatter is my go-to from this collection—given the statement brow bar and apple bottom-like lens shape, this subdued colorway is truly perfect for the no-makeup, lazy, running errands kind of day. Oh, the beauty of a large oversize pair of shades, am I right?
- feminine, butterfly-inspired frame shape
- polarized lenses
- 100% UVA/B protection
- anti-salt lens coating
- double barrel hinges
- full rim frame (an upgrade from our original Millenia)
- signature metal pin icon & metal stripes on the temples
Last but not least, we have ‘Buttertron!’ Our most feminine shield style yet and, yup, you guessed it—one of my personal faves. Lady Inferno was always by my side this summer while I was out by the pool and she has never let me down. If you love color and want to feel jazzy, these frames are an absolute must-have, ladies!
Thanks for reading everyone, and remember to stay ~groovy~
