We have stocked Karen Walker eyewear here at Merchant Archive for a couple of seasons now. For me its just the sunglasses range of choice. I mean I do love my Raybans, and our beautiful friend and event designer Fiona Leahy came trotting into the store last week wearing THE Prada sunglasses which looked amazing. But its Karen Walkers commitment to keeping her prices reasonable and her styles reasonably out there that keeps us coming back for more. We have sold out twice, re-ordered like mad and its not just us. Our angel of the vintage world Florence Welch is a fan, she buys hers from us. The Superga trooperga wish I looked like youga Alexa Chung is a fan, and James Brown tells me hes never had so many comments on sunglasses before ( hes all Merchant Archive man in this pap shot at Kates wedding in Parisien Trilby and 1860s waistcoat). And the very lovely MA fan Susie Bubble looks gorgeous in her Number one in smokey vintage brown. One of the best sellers.
They were whipped out of the New York show by cheeky stylists wanting their pair before the new collection even launched.When I had my buying appointment there were already samples missing, just too good to give back apparently!
Love your feedback…
