The reception to our newest SS12 Collection has been amazing. There is something for everyone in this new offering. Our avid fans can find something new and the newly converted won’t take off their new CONTEGO frames. What more could you want? A video lookbook….. well here you go!

The SS2012 CONTEGO Video Lookbook documents a beautiful day in Brooklyn as we find a series of missed connections can be linked back to 1 thing…their CONTEGO Eyewear.
