Brendel Brings Edgy Architectural Spirit To 2014 Women’s Sunwear Collection

New York, NY (October 17, 2014) – Tura Inc., the inventor of fashion eyewear in 1938, debuts the 2015 women’s sunwear styles from Brendel. The eye-catching frames include edgy geometric shapes, color blocking and fades, bold prints, custom acetate, Italian zyl, and cast metal décor. Starting now, retailers who pre-order the new sunwear styles and take delivery before year-end will receive special promotional pricing.

“These striking models are part of the new direction for the Brendel brand, with a focus on reaching the trend-setting, self-assured woman who is influenced by the sophisticated European runway shows,” says Jelena Halliburton, Product Manager for the Brendel collection. “While European and dramatic in spirit, the rich jewel tones and fit will appeal to an American consumer.”
