NEW YORK, NY - For Spring 2012, Jack Spade is collaborating with Selima Optique for Spring Sunglasses Collection. Retailing from $295-$325, these new shades are hand-made in France and every purchase comes with a signature Jack Spade eyewear case.
"JACK SPADE was our first collaboration ever, and it has always been an extreme pleasure to work with the company. We share the same vision of luxury accessories, so it has always been a great match."
"For me, JACK SPADE is timeless, whimsical and easy to wear. As a side note, all the styles we have made for JACK SPADE have been best sellers in our stores across the board," said Selima Salaun, the creative vision behind Selima Optique, the trend-setting, luxury eyewear brand she founded.
JACK SPADE began in 1996 out of a warehouse on Warren Street in New York City. It grew out of the idea that useful items could also be stylish. The first JACK SPADE bag was sold to a hardware store in 1997.
Today, JACK SPADE has grown to include men's clothing, small goods and accessories. It remains true to the idea that good design solves a problem with straightforward solutions, using timeless and durable materials. JACK SPADE can be found online at jackspade.com, in their 9 retail stores in the US, Japan and UK, and in top select stores worldwide.
