Renetta Bada’s 9th collection, themed “Refraction,” will go on sale starting Friday, November 20.
This collection focuses on the unique aesthetic appeal of eyewear—how its appearance changes depending on the angle of the light and the viewer’s perspective.

The three-dimensional form that emerges where light and the wearer’s gaze intersect brings a beautiful sense of tension to the face and lends a new contour to the wearer’s presence.
