Brand Watch – Illesteva

In case you haven’t noticed there have been a few new sunglass brands knocking about recently, and whilst we at The Gentleman’s Journal are normally advising our Gentlemen readers to stick with iconic brands, every so often a new brand comes along that deserves a mention. One such brand is Illesteva.

Founded in 2009, Illesteva is a new take on classic design, they aim to create pieces that inspire and captivate. To this end,they have created a strong celebrity following in a relatively short time, one which most older more established brands would be jealous of. So, take our and their word, this is a brand to buy.

One of our favourite models is this exclusive design for Mr Porter, the Leonard round frame, priced at £130 and available online at mrporter.com
