Valco SWAG sunglasses

Summer, flies, and Valco sunglasses. We found these incredibly cool sunglasses with bamboo stems in China, and we just had to order them. Because this is a VALCO product, they are, of course, not just any kind of junk.

Our black sunglasses turn the world wonderfully violet, just like in D12 (Eminem's) classic music video Purple Hills. Nothing compares to the purple hill, at least not in the minds of these rap professionals.

In the words of the great poet:

I've been to many places
I've sen so many faces
But Nothin 'Compares
To these Blue and Yellow Purple Hills
I've climbed the Highest Mountain
Once or Twice, But who's Countin '?
But Nothin 'Compares
To these Blue and Yellow Purple Hills

If Rick Astley had our sunglasses, they would probably have been these. Not only because we don't have any other sunglasses for sale, but also because these are pretty awesome.

The mere color purple doesn't help of course if the sun is shining in your eyes. That's why these also have UV protection. However, you shouldn't test it by looking directly at the sun. Generally, you shouldn't look at the sun with sunglasses on. And certainly not without sunglasses.

These are also not suitable for welding. Their main function is to look cool and gain respect from others. They are really well suited for boozing, driving a convertible, and all sorts of other summer activities.

We have added as a second model for inner wooden folks, brown frames with a (crappily photoshopped) panther pattern. These are very limited.
