Sabre Vision launched onto the scene last year in a big way, an eyewear company targeting the streetwear market, making them unique in many ways. Their classic styling has enabled them to produce a number of great styles and continue to receive great press and acclaim around the world. We spoke to the guys at Sabre about the brand and their progress after the production of our own colab with them, which you can buy here.

Tell us about Sabre, when where and who?

Sabre started as a bit of a joke actually. My friends and I started a blog style website with random debauchery, skateboarding and also a splash of trendy art by cool alcoholics to be culturally relevant! As a joke we made a few offensive bumper stickers for example "support mental health or I'll blow your fucken head off" one of our close friends suffered from Psycho Schizophrenia and he put one on his parents cars! Too funny. And the next thing kids from all over the town had these stupid bumper stickers on the bikes, skateboards and parents cars! Next thing I know it's a sunglass lifestyle company.    

  

What was the philosophy behind starting an eyewear company?

Sunglasses are a really great accessory. You can really have some fun with them and they make even really ugly people look cool! Except for my friend John Robertson, he is so ugly not even my sunglasses make him look cool...Sorry John it's the truth but we still love you.
