“We invite strong, stylish women everywhere to embrace eyewear for fashion and function. Ditch those dingy drugstore readers and slip on C4s,” says Wall. “Every detail of the collection has been designed with so much thought – from the online shopping experience to the packaging that arrives on your doorstep. And I’m so thrilled that every pair purchased gives single mothers in need the hand up they so desperately need via Cause We Care.”
There’s nothing shy about C4’s debut collection. Decidedly bold, strong silhouettes are softened by a palate of polished neutrals. C4 gives every outfit a sleek focal point, effortlessly transforming daytime looks with a hit of glamour and contemporary edge.
Layered and luxurious packaging and an inspiring quote, unique to every style, make slipping on C4 readers and sunglasses a simple daily pleasure.
The four readers are: Lucy, a vintage clubmaster; Lily, with its keyhole bridge is a standout in Ballet Slipper Pink; City, a rounded P3 classic updated in Milky Nude; and Rockit, an edgy half eye, stunning in Grey Tortoise. Each style is available in eight powers and a minimum of two colours including Pearly Nude, High Gloss Black and Crystal Grey.
Lucy: in Pearl White Nude
Lily: in Clear with Smoke
City: in Shiny Black
Rockit: in Ballet Slipper Pink
Shadow: Grey Tortoise
Grace, Abigail, and Shadow are the three sunnies. Grace is unmistakably a statement sunglass. Its high octane gold finish is achieved by layering clear acetate over gold foil. Available in High Gloss Black and Smokey Quartz, Abigail is a classic square shade. Finally, Shadow is a significant style with “do small things with great love,” a favourite quote by Mother Teresa, imprinted along the inside arm.
Not compromising on quality, all C4 frames are optical quality suitable for prescription use. An anti-reflective and scratch resistant coating protects all readers. Sunglasses provide 100% UV protection via lightweight CR39 lenses with a scratch resistance coating. All frames are fashioned from handcrafted layers of custom Italian-designed acetate and feature durable stainless steel frame hinges, rivets and corewires.
