Christopher Kane has announced the launch of a second sunglasses line, labelled 'Bolster Chain', which follows a first unisex eyeglasses collection, launched last June and produced by the Kering group.

The limited edition series consists of a 16 gr model in two variants, both featuring mirrored Zeiss lenses, the upper section of the frame made with a braided strand of Swarovski crystals, a replica of Kane's 'Bolster Chain' jewels.

The Scottish designer is busy with a series of brand extensions: in 2015 he created a leather goods line, and he has recently produced his first sneaker line, entirely manufactured in Italy.

The Christopher Kane label was launched in 2006, and in 2013 it was was acquired by the Kering group, which owns a 51% interest. Christopher Kane is distributed in some 140 multi-brand stores worldwide and at its own store on London's Mount Street.
