The fine folks at StyleCrave have given us a glimpse at Super’s latest creation — The RSF Bread and Butter Berlin Edition. “One of my top frame choices this year has got to be the Super RSF Bread & Butter Berlin Edition with straight top frames in a nice butterscotch shade. Clear lenses by Zeiss combine forces with that drool-worthy Italian construction and tortoiseshell effect. Mmmm… vintage-y, with 180 made and individual numbering.”
Only 180 of these hand-made beauties will ever see the light of day, each with individual numbering.
