Louis Vuitton is releasing a face shield with golden studs

2 Min Read

Daily US Times: As no sign is yet in sight to end the coronavirus pandemic, it looks like protective face wear is here to stay. But who says it can’t be stylish? Louis Vuitton has introduced new face shield.

Designers have been releasing their take on face masks throughout the pandemic. Luxury versions of face masks include Off-White’s popular $95 Arrow logo face mask and Burberry’s vintage check cotton design, retailing for £90 ($115).

And now, fashion brand Louis Vuitton is taking it a step further, releasing a luxury face shield that’s designed to be “both stylish and protective.”

the French fashion house said in a statement that the “eye-catching” LV Shield transitions from clear to dark in sunlight, protecting wearers from the sun. The face shield also features golden studs engraved with Louis Vuitton’s brand name and an elastic, monogrammed headband.

According to the company, the visor can also be worn upward as a classic peaked cap.

The Pricing of the shield has not yet been announced, but as a high-end fashion brand, it’s not likely to be cheap. Other Louis Vuitton head wear, including sunglasses and hats, sell for hundreds of dollars.

The face shield will be sold online and at select Louis Vuitton stores starting on October 30.

Louis Vuitton, in April, joined the global effort to make personal protective equipment to support health care workers on the front lines of the pandemic. The fashion brand said it had repurposed several of its workshops across France to “produce hundreds of thousands of non-surgical face masks” for health care workers.

It also said it was donating thousands of hospital gowns to six Paris hospitals in urgent need of protective gear.

The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) does not currently recommend the use of face shields as a substitute for masks, as it is not clear what level of protection they provide.
