Hotel De Ville presents:THE SNAKE AND MONGOOSE EYEWEAR COLLECTION

Don "the Snake" Prudhomme vs. Tom "the Mongoose" McEwen made racing headlines throughout the 1970s for their gritty racing feud and nitro-burning ambition, a dragstrip drama which played out at the infamous Lions Drag Strip in the industrial backwaters of Long Beach, CA.

There in the pits of gravel and asphalt, these top fuel dragsters redefined the sport of racing through their friendship born of smoke and noise, and tested by fire and speed.

Each pair of sunglasses was custom designed as a tribute to this epic era of American motosports history. Inspired by the custom cars, the speedways, the chrome, the chassis, the crowd and the drivers themselves, this collection energeticaly captures the bold colors and innovative competitive spirit that fueled the dragster lifestyle.

Handcrafted in Italy, Designed in the USA.
