Barton Perreira Eyewear – Design and Luxury for you Eyes
Do you like this story?
Barton Perreira is a brand new line of sunglasses targeted at those with a keen eye for design, luxury and the wallet to back it up. They began about only 8 months ago but have already become quite popular because of the experience of the founders, their popularity among celebrities and the simple beauty of the shape, style and design.
The company was started by Patty Perreira and Bill Barton only in the last year, former employees of Oliver Peoples eyewear, also a very popular brand. Their craft must have been honed well at Oliver Peoples, because their sunglasses are absolutely stunning. A lot of the frames are made from titanium, while others are hand-made plastic. I love the mesh on many of the pairs, and the thin frames and well cut lines are very elegant looking. Take a look at what’s available for your eyes:
Bombshell
Centerfold
Fairlady
As popular as they are new, Barton Perreira sunglasses are a growing brand that I have a feeling is going to explode in popularity in the next year. Stars such as Angelina Jolie, Milla Jovovich and Laurence Fishburne (which one doesn’t belong?) have been known to wear their styles. I’ve even seen them in the new Kardinal video “Dangerous” with Akon.
I am dying to get a pair of them myself, but no one in this quadrant of the world stocks them. That being said, the average price might be a problem for me too. Check out their website.

I have been following Patty Perreira's work for years, ever since I spotted a small article on her featured with Oliver Peoples Larry Leight.
As we all know,in most design houses, it is not the focused upon 'star' that is doing all of the actual designing.
Why else would this woman even be in that article. Well, I spotted photos of Snoop Dogg in a pair of Barton Perreira "Vanquest" on the Vibe Mag Website! That brother was rockin' them too!
Go 'head on Miss Perreira, step out into real 'light' and take your bow!

It's not a surprise that Barton Perreira is doing well. I've read that Patty was the strongest designer at Oliver Peoples, and looking at the line, it's not hard to believe.
