INTERVIEW: COVRY

We met with Athina, the designer and founder of Covry eyewear, in her new sun-filled studio located in Midtown, NYC. The sun seems to be pretty important to this designer. The handcrafted sunglasses and spectacles are produced in the same factories as Gucci and Dior, so they are high quality yet direct to consumer; allowing the price to stay low. We thought this was a great reason to converse with Athina as we share the same values: quality over quantity, and less is more.

Athina wishes to inspire young women to not conform to traditional values held for them:

“I’m Chinese... and I was brought up being told you’re supposed to be a lawyer or doctor, but my brother and I went in the opposite direction. We are just trying to do our own thing...and I think for Asian women it’s important to show them that they can do whatever they want to do. Instead of looking at what their parents want ... there’s so many ways that are unconventional but you can still make a lot of money and be very successful. It would be cool to inspire other girls and women to do that.”

We, along with Athina, believe in inspiring women and building our Quinn family to become even bigger than ever.

Athina is wearing our Cashmere Linen Sweatshirt, our favorite sweater for this Spring!
