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.
Already the airport is thriving as more international flights are using the new Terminal A, so it’s an exciting time for us.

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.
Alex Reid arrived with James Bond stuntwoman, Sarah Donohue, celebrity publicist Richard Curson, and elite trainer Cengiz Halabi, all from Famously Fit. And Rosie Fortescue from TV’s Made in Chelsea arrived with Nathalie from No No Coco choose a pair of aviator style sunglasses from our new Best under the sun collection.
We’re delighted with the amazing response we’ve received so far, with the press, Twitter and blogosphere full of positive comments.

In 2008 Alex Flynn was diagnosed with Parkinson’s Disease at the age of 36. So he decided to do something positive and inspirational with the hope of finding a cure for Parkinson’s Disease. Alex has a goal to race 10 Million Metres before December 2014 wearing Polaroid’s excellent sports sunglasses, aiming to raise over £1m for Cure Parkinson’s Trust.
Polaroid Eyewear is supporting Alex’s 10 Million Metre challenge, by providing him with sports sunglasses to protect his eyes as he takes on his exceptional challenge. Alex was recently featured in Running Fitness magazine which featured his epic journey running from London to Rome in his Flynn’s TransEurope challenge.
Alex dropped us a note: “Just a quick email to say how spectacularly the sunglasses you supplied were. Thank you and the rest of the Polaroid team for the support this year.” There’s only one reply to this. “We’re glad to help. And Alex, you are a true inspiration.”

I recently attended the In-flight Sales Person of the Year (ISPY) conference at the Hilton Brighton Metropole. This international exhibition attracts many airlines, concessionaires and leading suppliers in the retail travel industry. It was great to speak to global airlines such as South African Airways; who sell Polaroid sunglasses on their long-haul flights; Virgin Atlantic and Flybe.
Polaroid Eyewear sponsored the event, which largely focussed on the technique of training the airline crew. This was interesting see, as were the presentations given by the ISPY experts.
The most inspiring talk for me was Alan Chambers, MBE and Polar Explorer. He shared his experience of getting the first British team to walk supported to the Geographic North Pole, and how he motivated his team in such harsh conditions. Read more…
Sightsavers is an international non-profit organisation working in some of the world‘s poorest countries to restore the sight of blind adults and children, prevent blindness, and promote equal opportunities for disabled people. Polaroid Eyewear is supporting Sightsavers during 2012, and we’re inspired by the launch of their fantastic Run Mumbai competition.
Run Mumbai will see sports lovers running a marathon through one of the craziest cities in the world, in a bid to raise £1 million to deliver eye care services to some of the poorest people in India.
Sightsavers has a spare place in the Standard Chartered Mumbai Marathon on 15 January 2012, which includes free flights for the contender and a friend.
