We love listening to our favorite artist on the fullness of vinyl LPs. We just never thought about wearing them. Vinylize uses actual LPs from London to create frames for both sunglasses and prescription eyeglasses. Not only are they handmade (six weeks from start to finish), but each pair is unique, and you can choose from an array of actual records with corresponding artist or song names. The front of the frames are cut from the record and then attached via heat to the acetate base. Only 70 pieces are made for each model, and they’re cut from different parts of the album. For the music lover, there might not be an accessory cooler than this.
