This launch also premieres a selection of exclusive accessories, appealing directly to Cox’s fans and eyewear enthusiasts alike.
Unique Sunglasses Design
The VIBE sunglasses present a bold rectangular silhouette with a distinguishing brow line, while the RIDE offers a navigator-style frame complete with a double bridge. Constructed from sustainable Mazzucchelli Renew acetate, both styles showcase crystal laminated temples that highlight the collection’s Frequency Pattern, inspired by Cox’s musical journey.
Exclusive Accessories
Accompanying the sunglasses are four limited-run accessories: the High Frequency Bracelet, Backstage Frame Holder, On Tour Silk Sleep Mask, and Sun Session Visor. Additionally, a specially designed Collector’s Box, available in a mere 50 pieces globally, will house the entire collection, further emphasizing its exclusivity.
Personal Connection to Design
Carl Cox expressed a profound personal connection to designing these eyewear pieces, comparing the process to selecting a cherished vinyl record. He emphasized the importance of eyewear in his daily routine, stating that his glasses are among the first items he reaches for each morning.
