One of the best parts of writing a fashion blog are the many brands & shops that get introduced to me through readers. A friend of mine recently reached out and told me about Red's Outfitters, a handmade sunglasses company based out of Atlanta, Georgia. An idea created between two roommates and carried into fruition after the tragical passing away of one of the founders after drowning during a breath holding exercise for an upcoming fishing trip. His roommate, along with his surviving brother and another best friend continued his dream, naming the company after his beloved dog, Red.
Inspired by colors to compliment their loyalties {these are my current favorites, as well as these}, they sought to create original handcrafted sunglasses at an affordable price. With a portion of the profits going to a foundation that started in honor of their lost loved one, Shallow Water Black Out Prevention.
Though some of their sunglasses are currently sold out, the team behind Red's is hard at work preparing to launch their summer collection, set to be released July of 2013. For the latest updates, make sure to follow along on Twitter {#REDSLIFE} & Facebook!
*This is not a sponsored post, I just love promoting quality brands that as my friend who introduced me to Red's said best, "They are a good company with a great mission and an even better product."
