Shades of Pride: Celebrating LGBTQ+ Visibility with the RIVERA Sunglass release

Jun 11, 2024Caitlin Daly

Get ready to rock your summer with the RIVERA sunglass design from l.a.Eyeworks, part of the 2024 Pride Eyewear Initiative!

Picture this: seven top-notch indie eyewear designers, all jazzed up for Pride Month, joining forces to support LGBTQ+ causes. For the third year in a row and running, we have been chosen to feature this frame along with a network of independent opticians and boutiques worldwide.

The RIVERA sunglass design is vibrant and colorful, produced in a small run of 300 frames. Each purchase includes a custom soft case and a specially designed cleaning cloth.

Proceeds from the purchase of the RIVERA frame helps fund the Bring Change to Mind organization, which focuses on LGBTQ+ youth and mental health. This initiative has already made significant contributions, having donated over $100,000 to LGBTQ+ causes in its third year. 

Gai Gherardi, co-founder/designer of l.a.Eyeworks, emphasizes the ongoing collaborative effort between eyewear designers and the optical community in supporting LGBTQ+ visibility and causes. 

So, let's spread love, visibility, and support – one fabulous pair of shades at a time! 😎🌈
