PHILOSOPHY:
“With this collection, we sought to make high quality frames with a particular aesthetic that appeal to a wide range of consumers, especially targeting those who are young in spirit and original in their thinking. Eyewear that provides a unique perspective is usually priced at the high end of the market. Dakota Smith Los Angeles, however, provides a democratic solution, meeting consumer demand for frames that are uniquely cool while being priced at a level accessible to everyone,” says Jill Gardner, senior vice president at Signature.
MARKETING:
Merchandising materials include displays, posters, countercards and signage. Each sunglass comes with a hard case and cleaning cloth.
