Skye Blue
Description
Skye. The Misty Isle, off the west coast of Scotland, where the sun is rare enough that people remember the days it showed up.
The Skye in blue: a round front, polished to a shine, on wooden arms.
Built for someone who dresses for the weather they want.
Polarised lenses. UV400 protection. Cat.3 filter for equatorial sun.
Born in Africa.

Care
Home is the case
Keep them in their case when they’re not on your face.
Not the back pocket
The fastest way to sit on them.
Rinse after the sea
Salt, sand and sunscreen dull the finish. Fresh water, then dry.
Not with your shirt
A shirt hem scratches. Use a microfibre cloth.
Two hands on, two off
The hinges last longer.
Don’t bend to fit
Wood cracks before it gives.
Hang ’em on the indicator
When the sun sets. A rally driver’s trick: easy to find, never scratched, never sat on.
Out of reach
Dogs and toddlers both think they’re toys.
Always wear them on a first date. You’ll do awesome.
