Introducing C4: Canadian Creative Collaborative for Charity

C4: Canadian Creative Collaborative for Charity is Claudia Alan’s new ready to wear line of luxury eyewear. The C4 debut collection is a collaboration with Canadian style icon, Susie Wall, to benefit the Cause We Care Foundation. The capsule collection comprising three sunglasses and four readers will be available for sale in November 2015 at claudiaalan.com.“C4 speaks directly to a demand in the marketplace for chic, optical-quality reading glasses and sunglasses at an accessible price point,” says Carla D’Angelo, president and designer of Claudia Alan Inc., and creator of C4. “Working with Susie was a dream collaboration. This collection is a true reflection of her edgy fashion sense and generous spirit.”“We invite strong, stylish women everywhere to embrace eyewear for fashion and function. Ditch those dingy drugstore readers and slip on C4s,” says Susie Wall. “Every detail of the collection has been designed with so much thought - from the online shopping experience to the packaging that arrives on your doorstep. And I'm so thrilled that every pair purchased gives single mothers in need the hand up they so desperately need via Cause We Care.”There’s nothing shy about C4’s debut collection. Decidedly bold, strong silhouettes are softened by a palate of polished neutrals. Each style of the four readers is available in eight powers and a minimum of two colours, including pearly nude, high gloss black and crystal grey.Not compromising on quality, all C4 frames are optical quality and suitable for prescription use. An anti-reflective and scratch resistant coating protects all readers. Sunglasses provide 100% UV protection via lightweight CR39 lenses with a scratch resistant coating. All frames are fashioned from handcrafted layers of custom Italian-designed acetate with durable stainless steel hinges, rivets and corewires.
