The Return of Uptown Cool
Vontélle Eyewear, the black women-owned luxury eyewear brand where fit and fashion merge to celebrate diverse faces and features, is proud to announce the launch of its second eyewear collection in collaboration with Harlem Haberdashery.
This new collection of glasses celebrates Harlem’s iconic streets, Strivers’ Row and Seventh Avenue—renamed Adam Clayton Powell Jr. Boulevard—with bold eyewear that honors legacy while shaping the future.
The Vision: Harlem, Reframed
This collaboration is born out of Harlem’s cultural heartbeat—where history, heritage, and high style converge.
- Strivers' Row Collection: Oversized aviators in Blue, Yellow, and Noir—each bold frame tells the story of ambition, creativity, and quiet power, channeling the timeless energy of Harlem’s hard-working and upwardly mobile residents.
- Seventh Avenue Collection: Square frames in Smoke Grey, Merlot, and Noir—designed with sharp lines and sleek finishes, reflecting the strength and sophistication of Harlem’s legendary boulevard of dreams.
Together, these 6 frames represent Harlem excellence in 2 distinct shapes—classic silhouettes elevated with Harlem Haberdashery flair and Vontélle’s signature focus on diversity in design.
Why Vontélle x Harlem Haberdashery?
Vontélle Eyewear was founded to reshape the glasses industry that for too long ignored the needs of diverse features. Vontélle frames, both optical and sunglasses, are designed with wider bridges, longer temples, and larger lenses—crafted to truly fit all faces while never compromising on fashion. By partnering with Harlem Haberdashery, the iconic family-run fashion house renowned for dressing cultural tastemakers, the collaboration amplifies Harlem’s undeniable influence on global style.
This collection is a love letter to Harlem—its ambition, resilience, and style legacy—seen through frames that honor its legendary streets.
