Walking down New Orleans‘ opulent and colorful Royal Street, you might just miss Krewe‘s minimalist and charming outpost – like I did. I only stumbled upon this little slice of eyewear oasis during my couple of hours in NOLA and the only thing that came to mind was: where have you been all this time?! Made with scratch resistant lenses, hand-carved Zyle acetate frames and distinctive 24K gold plated hardware, each pair of sunnies and optical glasses are made with the upmost attention to detail. And they look good on nearly any face shape! I’m a fan and officially a new member of the Krewe . . .
