“Street Artist” Designed Eyewear
CoLab, an Australian startup venture, teams select, talented “street artists” from across the globe with CoLab eyewear designers to create an unbounded line of eyewear.
This season’s collection consists of 20 unique styles, each limited to 1000 pairs worldwide. Each artist’s line also comes in special packaging designed by that artist. Seasonally, CoLab will invite new artists to participate as “CoLab professors.” With no rules, constraints, or specific target market, CoLab professors are given the freedom to create designs that reflect their own artistic identity.
Unfortunately, while CoLab eyewear complies with some international standards, they do not appear to be designed with prescription lenses in mind.

Just a word of advice from Colab. We comply with all international sunglass standards and 10 models out of 21 styles now released, do take the majority of prescription lenses.

Thanks for the clarification, Peter.
