COLLABORATIONS
In 2009 Cébé optics teamed up with Bushnell, a company for outdoor products, in order to expand its own line of eyewear. They created glasses with folding sideshields, and ultra comfortable ventilated nose pads allowing for good airflow to avoid any fogging of the lenses. Others also come with adjustable anti-slip nose pads and interchangeable lenses. Many others feature an elastic strap for security in action or with neck cord. Most of the Vintage Sunglasses are made very compact in order to be less bulky for storage. Their lenses allow your eyes to relax ( and let your body do the work while being active) . Lenses can come with light technology and internal anti-reflective coating. They also created a line for kids. With this collaboration they sponsored many athletes from all different sports. Together they also developed a very successful line of helmets and goggles.
FYI: The company name Cébé is actually derived from the initials of Carl Benz (“CB”). Back in the day when sports cars still had no windshields and he had asked the brand to create some made-to-measure driving goggles for him and his dog (yes, his dog). Only after a specific request by the famous founder of Mercedes Benz and professional sports car driver did CB become Cébé.
