Kate Middletonknows how to look cool in her shades.
On her recent tour of the Caribbean withPrince William, Kate wore a total of 17 outfits over eight days, but just two pairs of sunglasses. One of which was a new style from the independent British eyewear brand Finlay, which is quickly becoming a royal favorite.
“It was so lovely to see Kate wearing our Henrietta sunglasses — she looked beautiful,” co-founder of the brand, David Lochhead, tells PEOPLE, adding: “As a British brand, it’s wonderful to see some of the most recognizable members of the royal family choose to wear our designs.”

“Henrietta is one of our more sophisticated shapes, it’s a cat-eye silhouette and its squared, upswept corners make this a stylish and versatile statement sunglass that can easily be dressed up or dressed down. It’s perfect for all occasions and suits a wide variety of face shapes,” says the co-founder, who confirms the style will be restocked in June.

“Every piece of clothing and every accessory we choose communicates something about us and we were confused and intrigued that so little effort would go into selecting the one accessory that sits on your face. So we started designing frames with added flair both in terms of shape and color,” says Butler.
