Ad for Polaroid sunglasses, international
Calderwood came by one day and asked if I could come up with an idea or two for magazine ads that show how polarizing works in sunglasses. This is a page from Elle, the French magazine for women, that probably goes back to 1958 or 1959. I think the ad was produced by DD&B because that is one good looking young woman. But I digress . . . .
Polaroid eyewear is alive and well. I am one of the managers for the first US retail store located in Tampa, Florida. We are located in International Plaza. We also have a second location that opened in the past 6 months at Barton Creek Mal in Austin, Texas.
Come By and say Hello!

I didnt even know that Polaroid sunglasses existed. Can you still get them? I guess it makes sense to have a company with such a wealth of imaging knowledge, turn it's hands (and eyes) to sunglasses.

I can't help you. Years ago Polaroid licensed U.S. manufacturers such as Ray-Ban to use Polaroid lenses and only sold Polaroid sunglasses overseas. It's probably still the case.
