This is the fourth time that the duo theo-Tim Van Steenbergen has launched a sunglasses collection. The latest creation ‘Hierro’ is a Limited Edition. The rich Spanish culture provided Tim Van Steenbergen with the necessary inspiration. Spanish embroidery and an age-long tradition of leather working inspired Tim to create the Hierro collection. Hierro means iron, brandmark. Every hacienda has its own logo and these models have a metal brandmark. It is a fiddling, a fictional logo to demonstrate the origin of the glasses, in line with Spanish tradition.

The leitmotiv throughout Spanish culture is festivities in honour of patron saints. Every city or village, no matter how small, has its own patron saint. To honour that saint, a large neighbourhood party is organised annually. Religious scenes are a cherished subject for embroidery. For that reason, and because Spanish names sound fantastic, six models were named after patron saints. The Hierro collection includes 8 glasses – 6 models and 2 of them are available in 2 different versions. Just like the previous Limited Edition White Tie, the glasses are black and white but this time they also include red. Only 150 sets are available.

All theo by Tim Van Steenbergen sunglasses are equipped with ZEISS lenses. theo values quality and only wants the best for his fans. The rock hard coating and the 5-layer anti-reflection make these lenses very strong, scratchproof and they protect one’s eyes optimally. The Z-symbol on the lens guarantees the product’s authenticity and the quality that ZEISS stands for.
