Shades with an unmistakable glam factor

Stand out from the crowd with a pair of Balmain sunglasses that are so unique that only 200 pairs of these Rosie Vintage Gold Edition shades are available across the world.

 Panitta Sornthaiteva, branding and communications director for Balmain distributor Empire International Group, recently launched the Rosie shades at an exclusive party at Bangkok Marriott Marquis Queen's Park recently. Guests were treated to a special photo and video session shot by a professional photographer plus music from DJ Top. Celebrity figures turning out for the bash included Sikanya Saktidej Bhanubandh, Nachanok Ratanadaros, Piyarat Kaljaruek and Suriyon Sriorathaikul.

The Balmain Rosie Vintage Gold Edition features a timeless design that embodies the quintessentially Parisian house’s character and heritage. Each of the 200 pieces come with an engraved serial number and in a special collector’s box. 

The sunglasses, inspired by an original vintage design found in the Balmain archives, are fitted with 18ct vintage yellow gold mirrored lenses – a uniquely brilliant golden tone symbolising preciousness and abundance. Not only is this “millionaire gold” an epitome of status and wealth, but it also embodies the character and heritage of the fashion house as a pioneer of extravagant and elegant fashion trends since the post-world war II era.

All frames are crafted in France with two interchangeable lenses: Zeiss sunglasses lenses from Germany and Blue Block lenses from France.
