New Smith Minx Steps Into Spotlight With Glamour and Confidence
KETCHUM, IDAHO (January 20, 2006) – Delivering a double dose of style and confidence, the Smith Minx brings a fresh new look to those seeking a touch of glamour in their daily adventures.
With multi-layer handmade acetate frames and full coverage lenses designed for small faces, the Minx features a custom temple logo accented with crystal stones. The result is a combination of fashion styling and sophistication.
“The Minx was created for wearers with small faces who crave fashion styling without sacrificing lens performance,” said Eric Carlson, Smith Optics’ Director of Product and Merchandising.
Protected by Smith’s Lifetime Warranty, the Minx’ luxurious yet durable frames are made of handcrafted acetate with stainless steel Italian hinges. Built into the frames are adjustable wire-core temples that enhance the style and enable a true custom fit.
The Minx’ 6-base lens curvature enhances peripheral viewing, while ensuring distortion-free vision. The high performance Smith lenses also serve up 100 percent protection from harmful UV rays and blue light.
The selection of lens options on the Minx include some of Smith’s finest optical performers, including glare-killing polarized lenses and fashionable gradient lenses.
Available combinations include Black frames with Polarized True Color Gray ($99); Tortoise with Polarized Sienna Brown ($99); Kiwi with Brown Gradient ($80); and Pink with Rose Gradient ($80).
