Introducing: BLACK EYEWEAR SOUNDS

Introducing: BLACK EYEWEAR SOUNDS

Listen to International Jazz Day playlist on Spotify! 

Black Eyewear collection is testament to Robert Roope’s enthusiasm and energy as well as passion for jazz music. Each frame is dedicated to a jazz musician and embedded in a rich social-cultural history of 1950s eyewear design and jazz culture. 

We created Black Eyewear Sounds on Spotify to share the passion for jazz music with our community.

Once a month, we’ll publish a new playlist created by Robert and by our guest editors.
