Heart of Gold by Sama Eyewear


Sama's Heart of Gold sunglasses were designed to celebrate the 20th Anniversary of the company. The frame, layered in gold, comes with gradient-tinted polarized lenses which are also available vapor-coated with 18k white gold or 24k yellow gold.
100% of the proceeds from the Heart of Gold go to the Sam Vance Foundation. The Sam Vance Foundation was established in 1997 by eyewear designer Sheila Vance in memory of her son Sam, who lost his life to heroin experimentation while a nineteen-year-old freshman at U.C.L.A. Named by Interview magazine as one of the “Most Noble Crusaders of the Modern Era,” Vance was determined to turn her personal tragedy into a positive force for change by helping young people and their families avoid a similar tragedy. The Sam Vance Foundation was the motivation behind Sheila Vance’s return to the optical industry and the inspiration behind Sama Eyewear.

Have a "Heart of Gold" for the Lions Club's "Recycle for Sight" program. For the rest of February save 15% on new eyeglasses in exchange for a donated used pair of eyeglasses at Hicks Brunson Eyewear.
