The first collection is an homage to three travel destinations that we're covering here on the Volterre blog. Poke around the site to see what they are. To read more about the story behind the brand, which takes inspiration from my journey around the world and from the ideals of French philosopher Voltaire, click here.

Every pair of glasses comes with a pamphlet with pearls of wisdom about their respective destinations, as well as inspiration behind the brand. Even more awesome: 3% of each pair's purchase price is donated to FLYTE, a foundation that helps send underprivileged, deserving students on educational class trips. I encourage you to read more about Volterre's mission here.

To me, Volterre is much more than an accessory line - it's a compilation of inspiring things seen around the world, and an effort to make expressive style pieces more accessible. I hope you love Volterre, that my vision for the brand shines through, and that it encourages you to share your inspiration as well! I have a lot planned for Volterre over the next coming months - especially for those who share their adventures with Volterre - so stay tuned.
