Quattrocento Sunglasses Tell a Story of True Love

— January 13, 2015 — Fashion
Authentic Italian sunglasses brand Quattrocento is described as "affordable haute couture -- with a love story."

The love begins with founders Eugenio Pugliese and Sharon Ezra, who met and fell in love in Milan. With Ezra's degree in fashion product management, and Pugliese's eyewear expertise and business savvy, the two created Quattrocento eyewear. The designs in the collection are intended to reflect their romance.

Each pair of sunglasses is made with impeccable precision, quality and design, recalling the spirit of the Italian Renaissance with its superior craftsmanship. By offering a web-based retail experience, the company is able to sell the sunglasses for an affordable price. In other words, customers are only paying for the materials of the sunglasses and the expertise of those who assembled them.
