ILLESTEVA RELEASES COLLECTION WITH BROOKLYN PIZZERIA LUCALI

by Stephen Garner

New York eyewear brand illesteva has teamed up with Brooklyn pizzeria Lucali on a limited-edition eyewear and t-shirt collection.

Appropriately named the Lucali, the one-of-a-kind, polarized aviator frame draws inspiration from Lucali’s hometown of Carroll Gardens, Brooklyn in the 1970s. The collection is designed in New York City and handcrafted in Italy, focusing on high-quality materials in small batches—a guiding principle that is at the core of both brands.

The Lucali will be available in four colorways—Black/Grey, Havana/Grey, Havana/Brown, and Tortious/Brown—at illesteva stores and illesteva.com, retailing for $280. illesteva will produce just 60 units per colorway, numbering each pair.

Additionally, the exclusive t-shirt line will not be available for purchase, but instead will be seeded out to friends and family of each brand across the country making it just as hard to get your hands on a t-shirt as it is to get a table at Lucali.
