As Alex Reid and his fiancée Chantelle Houghton announce this week that they’re going to be parents to a baby girl, Polaroid Eyewear would like to say congratulations! We’re big fans of Alex, and it was great to see him selecting a pair of Polaroid 1960 Rider when he joined us for our sunglasses collection launch last week. They look very stylish on him.
Polaroid 1960 Rider is a new pair of sunglasses from our 2012 Best under the sun heritage collection. Taking the driving force of design from the ‘60s and teaming it with modern robust materials, Rider is quickly becoming a popular frame.

Polaroid sunglasses are available at many Duty Free shops across the world, so we’re delighted to feature in the new Terminal A store at Vnukovo Airport in Moscow. Specially selected by the airport, Polaroid is amongst a selection of other premium accessories including perfumes, cosmetics, confectionary, luggage and travel items.
With other top brands such as P&G, Coty, L’Oréal Luxe, Hermès and Bvlgari showcasing their accessories, it’s fantastic to be in such great company for quality and style.
Polaroid were overwhelmed by the fantastic number of journalists, celebrities, stylists, writers and bloggers who joined us for our 75th Anniversary and 2012 Sunglasses Collection Launch yesterday. Held at the elite No 5 Cavendish Square in London, the event gave a preview of our new sunglass collections, which will launch on the high street and online next month.
Over 130 VIP guests from the fashion, optical and national press viewed the new Polaroid Best under the sun heritage collection. Also available was our 2012 men’s, women’s, sports and kid’s sunglasses. The day was buzzing from start to finish.
A special feature of the launch included the display of original Polaroid sunglasses which date back to the 1930s when we first launched the brand. As we celebrate our 75th anniversary this year, it was the perfect opportunity to show how original designs from the archives shape today’s fashions.
