With the temperatures rising and summer at our doorstep, we look to sunglasses to make a fashion statement with minimal fuss and maximum fashion and functionality. Krewe and Illesteva are our two beloved eyewear brands, both of whom are privately owned companies, specializing in leading trend for fashionable handmade frames. Both focus on quality lenses, optical, classic styles and playful trend pieces. At Pavilion we carry a vast range of options, from timeless to statement, but this week want to focus on our unique offering of ever classic tortoise styles. Universally flattering and stylistically versatile, tortoise is our go-to for an everyday frame.

The Austin Zulu by Krewe is special in its construction because it's a combination of acetate and metal. This unique pair bridges both the worlds to create an unusual mix of materials for a surprisingly classic result. Bonus: this pair is polarized, making it suitable for activities that involve more glare than typical daily wear.
