Tortoise & Blonde is a modern alternative to classic eyewear. Designed for functional versatility that expresses the Tortoise and Blonde in all of us. Made to appeal to a new generation of tastemakers. Void of ostentation. Grounded in craftmanship and details. Tortoise & Blonde affords the exploration of the duality that exists in all of us. Within the simple addition of frames to face, change occurs in compelling and formative ways. It is in this notion that one should never be restricted to wearing only one pair of frames. Switch it up. One Today. Another Tomorrow.
Tarek Pertew, co-founder of Wakefield and NYC Uncubed, tries on Tortoise & Blonde frames.
Which frames do you think suit him: Keyser (left) or the Sunset (right)?
