Krewe Sunglasses: They're Just Cool

It is that time of the year again for fun in the sun, and the one accessory we all need is sunglasses. If you are like me, you need a couple of pairs. I like to stash one in my car and one in my purse. I also always need a backup for when I lose them or my daughter "borrows" a pair. The brand that I love to stock up on this time of year is Krewe.  

Krewe is different from any other sunglasses brand out there. You can actually just look at the styles and know that they are special. There are many reasons why they are unique when it comes to sunglasses, but here are just a few: 

  • Krewe sunglasses are handcrafted in New Orleans.

  • Krewe makes small batches of styles to cut back on unnecessary waste. 

  • Krewe uses the highest quality materials, and once products are completed, they are inspected for perfection.

  • Active frames are made from Rilsan, using an injection mold process that ensures flexibility and durability. 

  • Krewe uses the finest metals, from premium titanium to 24K gold-plated hardware.

  • Krewe lenses are equipped with shatter-resistant lenses that provide 100 percent UVA and UVB protection with special anti-scratch and anti-smudge coatings.

This one is my favorite, and I couldn't make it a bullet because I think it is the one thing that really makes Krewe so great: it's the colors and patterns. Each color that makes up an exclusive acetate pattern is hand-mixed and hand-fed through a machine, like pasta dough. Then, they are baked together to create the intricate designs that make Krewe, Krewe. Depending on the complexity, it can take anywhere from one to 12 weeks to complete. You have to watch this video - it is so cool to see how it is made.

So if you didn't know it before, Krewe is just cool, it's different, and they just make the best sunglasses. Nobody else on the market is doing what they are doing. So to make it easier to get your new summer shades, we host a trunk show every June to kick off the summer season. It starts this Thursday, June, and goes through Sunday, June 5. We have a new shipment of styles, will have a shipment that is here just for the event, and you can special order. And the best part is all Krewe is 20 percent off. So shop early for the best selection. You won't want to miss this event.

Owner | The Hive and The Shoe Hive

I spent the first part of my career as a copywriter who helped elected officials brag about their support for entrepreneurs. Then I decided to get off the printed page and do it myself. The Shoe Hive made a splash on the fashion scene in Washington, and was named the region’s best shoe store in its first year. Fourteen years later, I have tripled the store’s size and also opened a sister store, The Hive.  At The Hive, we offer clothing lines that are sophisticated and approachable like Rag & Bone, Tibi, Raquel Allegra, Ulla Johnson and Veronica Beard. We have tried to fill our racks with clothing you will want to wear all the time, elevated basics that are worth the investment.
