Zippo expands eyewear range

Zippo, the brand best-known for its windproof lighters, has added 50 polarised sunglasses and 100 reading glasses to its eyewear collection.

The new range of unisex and tailored men’s and women’s frames expands Zippo’s original collection of 14 frames.

The collection is inspired by a mix of current and classic fashion trends and the frames are available in a variety of colours and prints.

Zippo’s vice president of global sales, Richard Finlow, said: “With over 85 years of history, Zippo has an influential and dedicated fan base. During this time, the brand has transcended its functional benefits to become a cultural icon and we continue to find new ways for our customers to enjoy the brand. We’re eager to bring Zippo’s coveted style to eyewear and give people a new canvas for self-expression.”
