KHAITE reveals powerful new perspectives in the next chapter of Oliver Peoples KHAITE: a collection of sunglasses for the discerning eye. The ongoing collaboration evolves by reimagining vintage forms through the lens of women’s lives today.

• Handcrafted in Italy, the three new styles are: • 1984C: Decisive delicacy in a metal-framed silhouette that pairs soft curves with a unique Windsor-rimmed topline for a trace of acetate. • 1966C: Sculpted allure in a bold, wide-set silhouette made more striking by its beveled profile. • 1979C: Signature strength in an angular statement silhouette with a straight topline and broad temples tapering to signature tips.

1979C found in Dark Mahogany + Brown.

Details dedicated to the collaboration are instantly recognizable along the temples, tipped by alternating logos. In the acetate styles, 1966C and 1979C, a first-of-its-kind double-embedding process exposes custom corewire inspired by the streamlined hardware of KHAITE handbags. The distinctively tapered shape also accents the custom temple of the metal-framed style, 1984C.

The new designs each debut in five color combinations: versatile neutral hues of black, tortoiseshell, gold, and silver are joined by statement hues such as optic white, crystalline “Buff,” and glossy lipstick red — a vibrant shade that is reprised in the collection’s signature case, which is included along with a drawstring pouch that doubles as a lens cloth.

Oliver Peoples KHAITE expresses a shared vision of distinctive and enduring style achieved through exquisite materials and unparalleled craftsmanship.
