For spring/summer 2021, the Nat & Coco collection from Optika Eyewear / mod. NC2802 /
introduces 10 new women’s models, in both acetate and stainless steel. Model
NC1439 is a new take on the traditional double bar eye shape and comes in a
gold metal colour. NC2802 brown features a cat-eye front and metal temples
with stone inserts.

This year’s biggest trend is coloured crystal acetates and rose gold-coloured
metals, says Optika President Richard Allen. “With Nat and Coco NC2802,
we are seeing three levels of acetate colours on the front, which makes a strong
fashion impact. It also allows us to take a popular front and give it new life by
revitalizing it.”

There is also a strong demand for titanium frames this year, Allen adds,
pointing to Nat and Coco NC3006. “People love how light and durable the
frames are. Gold shades are popular, as is colour fading. In NC1448 Black, we
did a colour fade from black to aqua blue.”

Optika’s Soho Tech collection of 10 new women’s models features even bolder
shapes and wildly different colour combinations. Soho Tech appeals to
fashion-oriented customers, who want to be noticed, be different and make a
statement, says Allen.

“For 2021, Soho Tech offers hot-selling acetate shapes, such as ST8594 azure,
with coloured crystals in blue, pink, nude and crystal acetates. The collection
also features hot-selling metal shapes in rose gold.”
