About this piece

Heron Ocean Prescription (Rx) model .  A unique, polarized version of our Heron range, borrowing functionality from traditional glacier sunglasses by using leather side shields to block out sunlight reflections and glare. Traditional sunglasses, even wraparound ones, often don’t provide enough protection for long, sunny days out at sea. For maximum protection, opt for the  Heron   Ocean as your go-to sunglasses for ocean activities such as fishing, sailing, and kayaking. Your eyes will notice the difference. The price includes prescription lenses, tracked express shipping, and a 2-year warranty.

About the artist

Brothers Marcus and Richard Franck founded Vallon in 2018 in Verbier, Switzerland, after years of skiing, touring, and hiking the Val de Bagnes. The name is French for 'small valley' — a reference to the Vallon d'Arbi above Verbier where the idea took shape. Before launching the brand, the two ran the Old Schoolers Instagram account dedicated to the history of skiing; that obsession with vintage alpine eyewear shows up in every Vallon model — classic shapes resurrected with modern V52 lens technology and contemporary frame materials.
