EssilorLuxottica curates eyewear gifting edit for Raksha Bandhan

EssilorLuxottica has curated a selection of eyewear styles ahead of Raksha Bandhan, an Indian festival celebrating the bond between brothers and sisters. Traditionally marked by the tying of a sacred thread, or rakhi, around a sibling’s wrist, the occasion is also associated with exchanging gifts as a gesture of affection and appreciation.

For the celebration, EssilorLuxottica brings together a selection of optical frames and sunglasses from its portfolio, spanning timeless designs and contemporary silhouettes. The edit highlights eyewear as a personal gift that can complement individual style, from understated everyday frames to more expressive statement designs.

Vogue Eyewear: vintage influences meet contemporary design

Among the selection is a range of styles from Vogue Eyewear, combining vintage-inspired shapes with contemporary details, colours and finishes.

The VO5707S draws on classic eyewear references with its acetate construction, keyhole bridge and distinctive V-pins. Slender temples keep the silhouette refined, while transparent dark grey and brown colourways give the frame a versatile finish suitable for everyday wear. With the VO5693SU, Vogue Eyewear takes a more statement-led approach. The narrow rectangular sunglasses feature chunky, tapered temples detailed with the signature logo. Alongside classic black and havana, the style is available in opal magenta and opal green for a more expressive look.

The VO4349S revisits 1990s-inspired eyewear through an angular, irregular silhouette. Its thin metal front is paired with sleek coloured temples featuring the Vogue Eyewear logo. The style comes in classic metal finishes as well as brown, green and rose-gold options. A more pared-back take on vintage styling comes with the VO5709. Its relaxed double-bridge construction is complemented by V-pins and slim, logo-free temples, creating a clean silhouette. The frame is available in black, dark havana and a selection of transparent tones.

For those looking for a bolder optical frame, the VO5699U combines a chunky acetate construction with a narrow, low-slung shape. Adjustable tapered temples are finished with the brand logo, while the colour palette ranges from black and dark havana to grey havana, moka and transparent blue. Completing the edit, the VO5695SU combines soft oval curves with a more directional acetate construction. Tapered temples balance the rounded silhouette, with colour options including black, havana, milky vanilla and full moka.

The selected eyewear is available at leading optical stores and select Sunglass Hut stores.
