Sunglasses can be the ultimate accessory – they add an air of mystery, hide your dark circles, hold back your hair in just the right way, and protect your eyes from sun damage. Meghan Markle clearly knows how important eyewear is – while most women have 2-3 pairs of sunnies to switch between, we have archived a whopping 22 pairs of sunglasses that Meghan has worn in the last few years. Recently, on the Sussex’s Australia Tour, we fell deeply and passionately in love with Meghan’s KREWE “Gravier” sunglasses.
Funky, trendy, and effortlessly cool the Gravier style was the fan favorite between the Meghan’s Mirror editors. They are trimmed in 24K gold-plated details and feature a matte black finish; the brand describes them as, “an update to the aviator, featuring striking face-and-bridge integration for a bold silhouette.” All of that sounds very cool, but the real highlight of these sunglasses is the ultra-high-quality brand, KREWE.
Meghan loves to support small brands and businesses, and we loved seeing a spotlight on KREWE. KREWE is not your average eyewear designer. Their styles are not factory-made, mass-produced sunglasses. A quick look at their Instagram gives insight into the elaborate, truly artisanal process that it takes to create a pair of KREWE sunglasses. In short, they are all literally hand-made, hand-crafted, hand-designed. In a world of fast fashion, Meghan is spearheading a campaign to support high-quality, ethically-based brands that are crafting lifelong products, rather than producing a cheap thrill. KREWE is the ultimate investment piece – these handmade sunglasses are made to last, truly beautiful in design, and the brand offers a Free Second Chance warranty program.
The “Gravier” style is so flattering on Meghan, and so incredibly cool, that we expect to see the style many more times. The brand’s ethical, hand-made ethos, and their availability at Meghan Markle’s beloved Club Monaco, makes us think we might see this brand again. Perhaps the St. Louis style?
