NEW YORK—French sunglass brand Vuarnet has announced its new spring collection titled Cable Car. Inspired by the tram systems of legendary cities such as San Francisco, Lisbon and Hong Kong, the collection features a double bridge, metal wire frame and is designed for urban adventure and wearers who love to travel.

The Cable Car collection is made from sheets of Italian acetate, which deliver subtle and balanced curves. It comes in round, rectangular and pilot shapes; with five fixed barrel hinges and anatomical fit, the collection is both hard-wearing and extremely comfortable. Each style is available in four to six colors, featuring both matte and glossy acetate surface finishes as well as a tone-on-tone combination of classic and molted shades.

For the first time, the “V on a Ski” found on every Vuarnet glass lens will be subtly engraved in metal on the temples of the frame. Like all Vuarnet glasses, the Cable Car collection will feature Vuarnet mineral glass lenses designed and manufactured at the company’s product facility in Meaux, France.

The Cable Car Collection will debut in the U.S. at Vision Expo East this month.
