Dunlop, one of the most iconic British sporting brands in the world, has launched a brand new range of prescription frames, available exclusively at Tesco Opticians from November 2010.
The frames follow the retro styling of Dunlop’s fashion line, which has seen a resurgence in popularity of late, due to the revival of vintage. Their bags and shoes have become the must have accessory and with the launch of this new range their prescription glasses look set to do the same.
