With this week’s box office debut of Sex and The City 2, we’ve received a deluge of e-mails asking who makes the gold
aviator sunglasses that Sarah Jessica Parker wears in her reprise of the Carrie Bradshaw role in Sex and The City 2?
The good news is we’ve identified Carrie’s gold aviators from SATC 2: They are Mykita & Bernhard Willhelm’s “Franz” Limited-Edition Aviator Sheet-Metal Sunglasses ($525.)
The bad news is you’ll likely be waiting some time to get your hands on these sunglasses (maybe as long as the end of summer.) The Mykitas have been on back order at Patricia Fields since the gold sunglasses first showed up on Sarah Jessica Parker in advanced publicity shots last year. No word on when they’ll be available.
Although Urban Optiques doesn’t carry Mykita, the lens coating technology that is used on the Mykita “Franz” Limited-Edition Gold Aviator sunglasses in Sex and The City 2 was actually developed by Sama Eyewear out of Los Angeles and is currently available on a wide-range of Sama, Badgley Mischka and Loree Rodkin eyeCouture models at Urban Optiques.
Urban Optiques is thrilled to provide a pair of exquisite Badgley Mischka “Lola” Sunglasses with
custom-made Sama couture lenses in 24K gold to the Keith Hamm Foundation’s live auction tomorrow night during its yearly charity benefit. A free eye exam from Urban Optiques is also included in the package.
The entire Badgley Mischka sunglasses and eye exam package has a retail value of $750.00, although auction participants have a shot at getting it for substantially less. The reserve is still being set, but bidding will likely begin at between $100 and $150.
The Keith Hamm Foundation was founded by Urban Optiques client Mark Miller, in honor of his partner of 15 years, Keith Hamm, who lost his fight with lymphoma in July 2006.
Ticket’s for the annual charity dinner event at the Rock Financial Showplace are still available. For details, visit The Keith Hamm Foundation website. If you can’t attend the event, you can also consider donating online here.
We snapped a few pictures of the sunglasses (yes, the zebra striped box comes with it) so you can check them out:
