I never cared that much about sunglasses, you know? I always had only one and I never spent a lot money with mine. I was happy with the designs from H&M or even from those that are sold on streets here in New York. I have never been those addicted to RayBan, Dior or Illesteva, when you need to have the latest design of the moment. But then I met Quay Australia and everything changed – I know this is cliché, but it is true. And as I know a lot of people who travel to New York want to buy a good and beautiful pair of sunglasses, I decided to make a post to introduce this brand to you.
I don’t remember when and how exactly I found out about Quay – I think it was on the social media, more precisely on Instagram, where the brand has a strong presence. The brand was established in 2004 by Linda and Allen Hammond and entered the international market in 2009 and is made for people without fear, with carefree attitude and a new perspective. If you like sunglasses with nothing obvious style – modern designs, bright colors, mirrored effects – then, you will certainly love Quay sunglasses.
In addition to success on social media, a lot of celebrities are using Quay, as Kylie Jenner, Alessandra Ambrosio and Gigi Hadid. Impossible not to fall in love with not only one but several sunglasses! The brand is constantly launching new designs- currently, there are more than 60 models, including some for men too! And you know what the coolest part of it all? The price! They cost between $ 45 to $ 55, a value which I consider very fair for the quality and design.
I bought my first Quay sunglass, Lana, last year in October. A few weeks ago, I bought My Girl. And I’m willing to at least a few more 2 models! Occasionally, someone asks me in my videos or on my Instagram from where they are. Remember that most designs are available in more than one color. Here in New York, you can find the Quay sunglasses at Topshop (two stores in Manhattan, one in Soho – 478 Broadway – and another one at Fifth Avenue – 608 5th Ave) and Urban Outfitters (several addresses in the city, check out here). I always buy mine online – because there are always more options! You can buy on Quay online store, Nasty Gal and Urban Outfitters.
