From their accents to their deep appreciations for bold shapes and eclectic colors, there was a lot for Selima and Nico to bond over. Ultimately, they decided they wanted to reinvent a classic pair of sunglasses for the Springtime.  

The bold, distinct sunglasses are available in Black Tortoise, Milky Ivory, Honey, Tea Leaf, and Whiskey. And its creators promise that they weren't thinking of cocktails when they made those choices.

Instead, Le Matt makes us think of a combination of Selima and Nico's cities—Paris meets New York meets Chicago in the Springtime. All that's missing is you, so if you want to meet Le Matt too, then you can place your order online or come say hi in person in mid-April… just in time for the sun to come out.
