| The Burberry sunglasses collection available on Visionet is vast and designed for all styles. For over 150 years, the British house has dressed the world with luxury creations and signature accessories. Its emblematic Nova Check pattern — black, brown, and white tartan — adorns many frames and temples, balancing discreet elegance with stylish affirmation. From Couture Origins to Iconic Style In 1888, Thomas Burberry revolutionized textiles with water-repellent gabardine, equipped soldiers in World War I, and popularized the trench coat. By 1920, he reinvented tartan with the Nova Check, quickly applied to leather goods and accessories — and then to eyewear. The pattern modernized over the decades (e.g., Rainbow Vintage Check), while the Prorsum knight remained a symbol of durability. In 2018, Riccardo Tisci's arrival introduced the TB monogram, a new graphic code for the house. Licenses & Manufacturing In late 2005, Burberry and Luxottica extended their global license for the design, production, and distribution of optical and sunglass collections (a license previously operated by Safilo). The result: classic or bold lines, manufactured to high quality standards. Design Signatures Depending on the collection, the Nova Check is featured as an accent (outer temples) or a more discreet nod (inner frame). Palettes feature gradients (browns, grays), transparencies, and polished finishes, on solid acetate (e.g., BE4364) as well as fine metal (e.g., BE3094). Emblematic Models - BE3080 Aviator: Aerial lines, mixed appeal, and controlled glamour.
- BE4353 Cat-Eye: Defined angles for a strong gaze, without losing mystery.
- BE3099: Metallic sobriety, daily comfort, and a subtle tartan detail.
Most models are available in several frame and lens colors. CE stamped lenses ensure compliance and expected protection, from clear to dark, including elegant gradients. Morphological Advice - Round face: Opt for rectangular or cat-eye shapes to add structure.
- Square face: Soften with oval/round shapes.
- Oval face: Most silhouettes will suit you, from aviator to oversized.
Style, Comfort, Protection Between British heritage and innovation, Burberry sunglasses combine design, wearing comfort, and protection (treatments adapted according to references). From understated pieces to more “statement” versions, the collection covers all styles, from everyday chic to couture silhouettes. Last updated on — Editorial: Visionet. |
