Have a Thing for Skull & Bones? Check Out the “Tommy” Sunglass from Loree Rodkin and Put Some “Edge” In Your Eyewear …

This week’s featured designer sunglass comes courtesy of super-hot L.A. jewelry designer Loree Rodkin brought to you by Sama Couture Eyewear and Urban Optiques.

It’s the “Tommy” sunglass, which features a “skull and bones” Swarovski crystals motif on the temples.

While this sunglass isn’t for everyone (you definitely have to sport the right attitude to pull this shade off), it’s one of our best-kept-secrets at Urban Optiques. We KNOW there is the right woman out there for this killer sunglass.

In case you’re not familiar with Loree Rodkin, she’s one of Los Angeles’ hottest custom jewelers. Her jewelry designs have appeared on countless celebrities of all ages and generations, including Miley Cryus, Dakota Fanning, Christina Applegate, Marcia Cross, Ashley Tisdale, Jenna Dewan and “Twilight’s” Ashley Greene.

First Lady Michelle Obama even wore a $17,000 (borrowed) custom Loree Rodkin pair of earrings to the “We Are One” concert in Washington, D.C.

While we don’t see the First Lady wearing these Loree Rodkin “Tommy” Sunglasses, they work amazingly well with a pair of black skinny jeans and a cool, cropped leather biker jacket. Age is no limit on these Loree Rodkin shades, but the right attitude definitely is.

Based on what we’re seeing in the fashion press, we think 2010 will be marked by an edgier, tough-girl look. Expect to see more black leather, biker jackets and sterling silver accessories.  The Loree Rodkins will accentuate this look perfectly.

Like all Sama eyewear, the Loree Rodkin sunglasses are extremely well-made.

Sama also makes our exclusive line of Badgley-Mischka eyewear, and most clients can immediately recognize that these are extremely well-constructed sunglasses once they place them on their faces.

The fit and finish really tells the story. There’s a reason Loree Rodkin chose Sama to help design, distribute and market her line of eyewear: Sama knows how to get eyewear right.

Urban Optiques is the only Metro-Detroit vision care and eyewear boutique to carry the Loree Rodkin collection. We have more than 10 designs available, both in exquisite optical frames as well as sunglasses.

If there is a particular Loree Rodkin eyewear frame or sunglass that you looking for, and we don’t currently have it in stock, we’d be more than happy to order it for you at no charge and with no obligation to buy. Please call us at 248-347-9090 to make it happen.
