New eco-company Kayu handcrafts sunglasses from pesticide-free .



The shades are oversized in a retro-stylish way (think Jackie O. goes ), but the best part is what’s behind the lenses: for every pair purchased, Kayu donates enough funds to cover one sight-restoring surgery in the developing world. So the shades are not only , they give back the luxury of sight.

Known for his red-soled stilettos, Christian Louboutin doesn’t disappoint his devotees with a new season favorite, the Layered Hobo. Created with armor-inspired, scalloped of carefully stitched calfskin this hobo sports a trough in the middle enhancing the carrier’s comfort.
Available in signature black with red accents on the outer rings and inner, jacquard lining, this has a zip top closure with signature pull, a 13.5″ strap drop length and is available at Saks for $1,995. In a funny little way it reminds me of those little bugs in the garden that we used to call rolly-pollies — I half expect the bag to roll up into a ball and protect itself from danger. (17″ x 12″ x 5 1/2″)
