It appears that even sunglasses aren't safe from graffiti knitting by the looks of the Sunglass Hut Knitta collection. Of course, just like the street art itself, this is a welcomed collaboration since the yarn bombing adds a completely fresh take on sunglasses that really hasn't been seen before.
Designed by graffiti knitting artist Magda Sayeg (also known as Knitta), the Sunglass Hut Knitta collection features the sunglass designer's best styles, hand-wrapped in vibrantly unique patterns. Especially perfect for the summer, each pair would work to brighten up any outfit given its ultra-modern, tribal aesthetic.
The Sunglass Hut Knitta collection is part of its Artist series, joining past collaborators Chris Mendoza, Maya Hayek and Mike Ming. Exactly $30 from each purchase will be donated to OneSight.
