Leather and lens range launches in LA
LA-based leathergoods company Parabellum debuted its
collaborative collection with sunglass brand Oliver Peoples at the Patron of
the New boutique in Tribeca on August 10.
The company’s sunglasses cases feature free-range bison
leather, either in black or pumpkin, which is hand-stitched in California. Parabellum's
"breath logo", which features two crossed swords, has been etched on each of
the range’s lenses and each item from the limited edition range is stamped with
a number to prove its authenticity.
Each case is lined with lambskin leather, includes a
custom cleaning cloth and is packaged in a protective wooden box. The combined
cost of the case and sunglasses is $695.
"We believe that our reservation bison is the richest,
softest, most complicated and most beautiful leather in the world. It is tanned
in small batches, using old world techniques by true American Artisans," a Parabellum
spokesperson said.
"We use natural-tone, vegetable-tanned lamb skin linings to compliment the rugged beauty of our bison."
