PLEASURES and AKILA Release the Reflex Sunglasses in Black and Clear
By joining with fellow Los Angeles label PLEASURES to release another collaborative project, AKILA LA is expanding its portfolio. The new collection focuses on the ‘Reflex’ sunglasses, which have been reimagined in two colorways for this release. The full-wrap-around frames are made of a bio-acetate material and have a wide-eyed design that resembles a bug. The first colorway has black edges and lenses filled with an orange-to-purple gradient, while the second boasts see-through frames and smokey tinting on the lenses.
A co-branded element is placed on the interior of the right temple, and "PLEASURES" text is printed on the sides. The new AKILA LA and PLEASURES collection is available on the AKILA website for $130 USD.
