Selima Optique Style Spotlight: Sailor Stripes

Nautical stripes have been a statement look since the early 20th century. Inspired by sailors, after a visit to the French coast, Coco Chanel introduced the design to the fashion world through her nautical collection in 1917.  The design is now synonymous with chic Parisian style.

Selima Optique provides this timeless pattern for one-of-a-kind sunglasses, the perfect accessory for spending time seaside in the approaching warm weather. Set adrift stylishly with the navy & white stripe "Candance" or SELIMA for JACK SPADE "Ludovic".

Find these available at all Selima Optique stores.

The Timeless Ride with Hubert marks 10 Years

Yesterday, February 16th, Hubert Kriegel reached the 10 year mark of his tour around the world, "The Timeless Ride".

A classic story, Kriegel set out from New York in 2005, with one simple goal, to explore the world. His sidecar expedition has taken him to Japan, Vietnam, Turkey, Syria, Iraq, Estonia, Russia, Kasakhstan, Italy, Germany, Switzerland, Mexico, Guatemala, El Salvador, Brazil, Uruguay, Chile, Egypt, Sudan, and Ethiopia, to name a few. Hubert has been wearing his signature round, red Selima Optique frames across jungles and deserts in the most remote parts of the world.

His most recent photograph details passage on the hillsides of Lesotho on February 13th, 2014.

A truly admirable story and captivating achievement to realize his dream of seeing the world, Hubert will always be an inspiration to us.
