Colin Leslie Bamboo Eyewear

Sunglasses are one of my favourite accessories and are most definitely a must-have everytime I leave my house. Whether the sun is shining bright or I simply need something to hold back my hair, I always have a pair of sunglasses in my bag. Finding the perfect pair, however, can be quite a struggle. Either they're too big or small for your face, too expensive, or simply not your taste. Thankfully my colleagues at The Amazing Blog have managed to find me the perfect pair of sunglasses from Colin Leslie Bamboo Eyewear!

I fell in love with these sunglasses as soon as I saw them. They come in a variety of different styles such as a vintage, wide eyed, geeky, classic, and retro. Due to the shape of my face, my personal favourite are their aviator style sunglasses because those are the ones that look the best on me. However you couldn't go wrong with any of their glasses!

In addition to being extremely stylish, these sunglasses are eco-friendly and help to reduce our carbon footprint. All of Colin Leslie’s glasses are individually handmade and incorporate bamboo. However the bamboo used in the glasses is not wild bamboo, but instead specifically grown for production. These glasses are produced from recycled acetate frames and the pouches are made from recycled drinking water bottles. Colin Leslie’s background in carpentry ensures that all of his glasses are exquisitely made and are of the highest quality. If you are in search of the perfect pair of sunglasses, then look no further than Colin Leslie Bamboo Eyewear! You can order your pair online here.

A new perspex-tive!

At Amazing PR we’ve recently become a rather overcrowded office, particularly with our new additions to the team. To be quite frank, it has become a big jumble of desks, chairs, and press samples with the added ‘spaghetti’ of a zillion computer cables. I’ve been trying to work out the best way to make us look less cluttered… which is no mean feat! Then I spotted Self and Hale. Ah ha this truly could the answer to my prayers – an entire range of elegant and stylish furniture all in Perspex®

And what a fabulous idea – brilliant ‘see through’ furniture in stylish lines with a touch of the traditional period - echoing designs from Shakers to William and Mary. Unlike other Perspex® furniture companies theirs is not too minimal or contemporary and will fit beautifully into any home that has more of a retro antique look rather than a modern loft feel. With exceptional attention to detail, the highly skilled team can create pieces seamlessly that are over 1000mm in thickness. Exceeding the ordinary, they dedicate themselves to the highest finishing standards using noteworthy techniques from diamond polishing to completely clear acrylic bonding.

In addition to which Self & Hale do some incredible bespoke design work and for the past ten years, in addition to establishing their own collections, they have worked with clients on individual commissions and projects. Having spent over 200 hours to complete a single piece of bespoke furniture, the passionate craftsmen at Self & Hale thrive on the opportunity to be able to spend the necessary hours making each piece beautiful.

Self & Hale are proud to carry the endorsement of the trademark in recognition of our status as specialist designers and manufacturers of Perspex® furniture.

So if you have a clear ‘perspective’ of what you want - frankly the sky’s the limit!
