Actress Sofia Vergara is partnering with eyewear brand Foster Grant to
launch an affordable eyewear collection online, which will also support the
Specs for Specs charity initiative.
The collaborative collection includes 24 styles across the reading
glasses, sunglasses and SunReaders categories, featuring blue light coating
lens, hidden bifocals, and 100 percent UVA-UVB lens protection.
Each of the styles were “personally curated” by Vergara and are all
affordably priced, with prices ranging from 31 to 41 US dollars and they
come in a variety of colours.
“I have loved creating my eyewear collection with Foster Grant. Not only
does the brand have such a rich heritage and solid commitment to giving
back to those in need, but they were fun to work with while bringing my
ideas to life,” said Vergara in a statement. “I wear readers myself, and
now that I am home reading so much more, I know how important they are to
so many of us. I also know a woman wants to feel good when wearing them,
wherever she is. I wanted to offer fashionable, chic, fresh eyewear
styles, allowing women to not just to see, but to see beautifully.”
The collection will also support Specs for Specs, a new charity
initiative where Foster Grant will donate one pair of reading glasses to
RestoringVision for every pair of Sofia Vergara x Foster Grant eyewear
sold.
Lisa Lord, vice president of licensing, FGX, added: “Teaming up with
Sofia Vergara will allow us to shine a new, bright light on a significant
global health issue, only exasperated through these current challenging
times that as a company, we’re committed to solving.
“Sofia’s collection of Foster Grant eyewear gives our customers a
stylish assortment of eyewear at such accessible prices, with the added
bonus of knowing you’re giving back with every pair purchased. We’re
thrilled and thankful to partner with Sofia on this incredible endeavour,
and hope her collection inspires fun and fashion, as well as very real
solutions for global needs right now.”
The collection will be available exclusively on Foster Grant’s website,
as well as Readers.com and walmart.com.
