This new project is the fruit of our latest work together, a story of glamour and Bajan soul, translated in a statement design inspired by the Caribbean, with custom colours informed by our gorgeous Bajan skies....”
Founder and Creative Director of Linda Farrow, Simon Jablon, said: “Alicia’s drive and passion for optics is remarkable and she is very much a pioneer for the optics community in the Caribbean. We are delighted to embark on this first collaboration with her brand, PFB. The edition offers the ideal fusion of an iconic Linda Farrow design, which perfectly translates our luxury character, blended with the story and atmosphere of Barbados and its natural beauty and colours.”
