VALLON x Topo Designs Launch Limited Edition Howlin’ Sunglasses
June 4, 2026

Amsterdam, Netherlands (June 4, 2026) /OUTDOOR SPORTSWIRE/ — VALLON, the European sports eyewear brand known for blending classic aesthetics with modern performance technology, announces a limited edition collab with Topo Designs, the Colorado-based brand known for its durable, versatile, and colorful backpacks, bags, and apparel. The limited edition run of Howlin’ sunglasses will be available starting today at topodesigns.com and select Topo Designs retail locations.
One of VALLON’s best-selling active lifestyle frames, Howlin’, features a rounded aviator design paired with high-clarity sports lenses. In this limited edition run, they return in a refined, heritage-inspired brown colorway, pairing a rich brown acetate frame with matching lenses for an elevated everyday look. A teal headstrap adds distinctive contrast, reflecting Topo Designs’ commitment to durable, functional, and classically-styled gear. Finished with a teal Topo Designs logo, this update balances understated versatility with signature brand detail.
“Both VALLON and Topo Designs take a lot of inspiration from classic styles, but with the durability and functionality needed for how people get outside today,” said Richard Franck, co-founder of VALLON. “That’s what initially drew us to Topo Designs – that and our shared approach to creating products that feel personal and expressive to the people wearing them.”
Built for both performance and everyday wear, the Howlin’ frame is equipped with VALLON’s proprietary V52® nylon polyamide lenses, engineered for exceptional clarity and durability. With an ABBE value of 52, the lenses deliver superior visual sharpness while remaining lightweight and shatterproof. Each pair features polarized lenses to reduce glare and enhance contrast, adjustable temples for a secure fit, and a detachable headstrap to keep your frames in place at all times.
“Topo Designs has always been about creating gear that transitions seamlessly from the mountains to everyday life,” said Jedd Rose of Topo Designs. “Partnering with VALLON allowed us to bring that same philosophy to eyewear – combining technical performance with a classic aesthetic that stands out on the trail or in the city.”
The VALLON x Topo Designs Howlin’ will be available starting June 4, 2026, exclusively at topodesigns.com and select Topo Designs retail locations.
