One day, I was scrolling through Facebook, and i came across an ad. It was for a new sunglass brand called Covry Sunwear. I've never heard of the brand at the time, so I had to check it...and boy, it was something! You're probably asking yourself, "What is Covry Sunwear?" How about I let my interview with Florence and Athina explain it all... interview with florence& Athina:1. What is Covry Sunwear? Covry is an innovative eyewear company with a passionate focus on fit and design. We created Elevated Fit™ with comfort being the first priority so our customers can finally smile big! Our first collection launched on Kickstarter and surpassed our initial campaign goal by over 280%. 2. How/Why did you ladies start up Covry Sunwear? Covry started as a solution to our problems. We’ve always struggled with finding comfortable-fitting frames; they were always sliding down our nose, sitting on our cheeks and sliding up when we smiled. We realized that most sunglasses in the market didn’t cater to our facial features (lower nose bridges and higher cheekbones), and we challenged ourselves to redesign the standard fit. 3. What was your inspiration behind the designs for sunwear? We wanted to start Covry with a classic collection that combined easily wearable shapes and colors. Since we’re based in New York, our inspiration is pulled from the diverse, creative nature of the city. 4. Do you have any future plans with new sunwear designs? Also, do you plan on creating frames for prescription eyeglasses? Our next collection will be launching this June with exciting new colors and playful styles. For the summer collection we’ll be introducing new shapes with creative lens options. We certainly hope to offer prescription lenses in the future, but right now we’re excited to offer beautiful, comfortable sunglasses. In the meantime, any optician can easily switch our lenses out for prescription lenses. 5. Do you have any recommendations for styles to choose from? What are your favorite sunwear designs you create? Florence: We have a style guide to help you better decide which frame works best for your face shape! Castor Matte Blue is one of my favorite styles- it has this amazing matte blue and brown texture and works well for my rounder face. Athina: One of our most coveted fashion favorites is the Lynx White because of its classic white tortoise frame and flirty pink mirrored lenses! 6. Will these sunglasses also work on people without the Asian nose bridge problem? Absolutely! We’ve had people from many different ethnicities share their stories of not being able to find sunglasses that fit. Some customers don’t need the extra lift, but buy our sunglasses just because they love the styles. 7. If you had to choose sunglasses for Morgan Freeman, Kim Kardashian, and Justin Timberlake off of your brand, who will have what? Morgan Freeman- He wears a ton of round frames, so he’ll love the lynx! Justin Timberlake- He’s a simple, classic guy, so the Castor would look great on him. Kim Kardashian- Vega would be perfect since she’s often seen in square frames! 8. If each of your sunglasses had a super power, what powers would they give you when you put them on? Lynx- fins and gills to swim underwater Castor- super strength, enough to lift cars for fun! Vega- vision so strong you could see through walls 9. If you had any words of encouragement to any future entrepreneurs, what would they be? Get started today because there is no better time than right now! There was never a perfect time for us to start, but we got started little by little, and eventually formed something that we’ve fallen in love with! I loved interviewing them and understanding more about their brand. Make sure you follow them on their social media and check out their website for more of their sunwear.
