PIERO from Oliver Goldsmith
Founded in 1926 and a family-run business for over 80 years, Oliver Goldsmith has become the primary source for contemporary sunglasses. Dress designers, royalty and celebrities such as Audrey Hepburn and Michael Caine approached the brand to make eyewear for them and history was set in stone. Today, the company is still synonymous with stars and style with beautiful handmade replicas of the original designs available to buy.
The PIERO was originally designed in 1970. Made from lightweight gunmetal, with beautiful Zeiss lenses, its a perfect choice for summer.
Serengeti Aerial from Shade Station
Serengeti sunglasses are pioneers in their own right, with the three pillars of Serengeti design including photochromic lenses, polarisation and Spectral Control which enhances the vivid nature of light and blocks distracting blue light rays. Because of this, the Serengeti Aerial is a stylish, modern sunglass that is part of the Classic and flagship Pilot styles. The frames on the Aerial are stunningly lightweight and sturdy, with a Drivers gradient.
Lenses used in the Serengeti Aerial sunglass are photochromic, and the frames fuse the artisanal element of the brand with a brilliantly strong, remarkably robust exterior that holds the lenses together beautifully. Striving to redefine the modern sunglass at its very roots, the Aerial together fantastically.

there is such a choice these days, it used to just be oakley! We tend to buy new ones at the airport, with some fizz courage typically! A top tip my husband found was to keep asking what else there is, the assistant had other glasses not on display that she dug out when she understood what he was looking for!
Love the Ray Bans but I don’t think they’d suit me so I’d probably opt for the Serpenti… but do they come in varifocals! ;-)
Great collection here Paul though I have to admit I am an Oakley fan! I have never liked Ray Ban’s or Aviator’s but honestly your collection here really is pretty stylish and I am sure will appeal to a wide market of tourists and travelers.
My only problem with sunglasses is the price you pay for them! I am sure that many of these are at the ‘high-end’ market which is perfectly fine for the luxury travelers but it’s tough making yourself pay such high amounts for something you don’t always use (I guess you could say that about many things in life but it’s all about priorities).
Serpenti sunglasses from Bulgari is my favourite -thanks for this. Needed some inspiration! Love Bianca
“Luxuriator Style 23 sunglasses from Dolce & Gabbana… This ultra-luxurious eyewear has buffalo ivory temples…”
Yeah, I’d love to have a buffalo killed just to have these sunglasses; thanks D&G!
I’ve had my Ray Ban Wayfearers for a long time, they’re great.
Hm, I haven’t seen the Serengeti sunglasses yet, but they look really slick! I have to look on how much they cost.
Anyway – IMHO you are missing Ray Ban’s Wayfarers, true classic, which you can wear anywhere, anytime, hangover or not :)
We had the Wayfarers in last year’s list… ;-)
