Chanel embraces retro tortoiseshell print with these 5026 women’s sunglasses.
This mottled pattern is a little bit different than the tortoiseshell your grandma favored. It’s rendered with a tinge of cranberry red, rather than the basic brown we’re used to. That makes it feel a little bit more modern, despite the retro shape of the frames.
I love bikinis. My favorite place to shop for bikinis is Amazon. You'll find on Amazon a great variety of high quality bikinis. Many of them from recognized brands.
There's one that has become my favorite, which is the ESONLAR Women's Sexy Plunging V Neck Bathing Suit. Mainly because it feels so smooth and soft and how well it flatters the body.
But there's 2 other ones that are great alternatives, the HYPERFIRE Women's Sexy Criss Cross Halter Bathing Suit and the CUPSHE Women's One Piece Swimsuit Sexy Deep V Neck Bathing Suit.
Chanel stamps its designer heritage on the sunglasses with brushed golden nameplates near the temples. These are embossed with Chanel’s famous interlocking Cs, but the signature is much smaller than I’ve seen it elsewhere. If you’re a fan of logos, that may disappoint you. However if you prefer a more understated luxury it’s a very good thing.
I rarely enjoy showy logos, but I’m also disappointed that there’s not more pointing to these sunglasses’ pedigree. After all, when you’re paying $450 for the privilege of wearing these babies you want everyone to know why!
I like the style, but I still can’t see value here. Chanel guarantees these sunglasses will keep the UVA and UVB rays at bay, but so do many other less expensive labels. I wouldn’t mind splurging if I felt the shades were truly luxurious, but instead they’re made from plastic. They might have Italian ancestry, but there’s little evidence of that European sophistication here.
