The story of cult sunglasses brand Linda Farrow is a forty year affair. In the 1970s, Ms Farrow enlisted the help of her then husband to launch a range of sunglasses, the result was a roaring success. Her eponymous eyewear label took the 70s by storm and the public’s love for sunglasses to feverish heights. In 2003, after Ms. Farrow’s son discovered a back catalogue of over 2,000 sunglasses, the Linda Farrow brand was relaunched.
