The Etude is a charming metal frame with a lilac purple eye front. The color name is perfect: Lilac Love, which sums up our feelings for this frame. The frame features signature Elton John branding on the temple tip.

The Formative Years

This style is part of a very special limited-edition collection: The Formative Years. The Formative Years represents the first of many chapters in the story of Elton John's life. The eyewear styles are modernized classics, and they are designed to make a statement.

Elton John Eyewear

Sam’s Club and Sir Elton John and are proud to present Elton John Eyewear. These frames are inspired by his legendary career and iconic style, and now they’re available (while they last!), exclusively at Sam’s Club.

With the launch of Elton John Eyewear, Walmart Inc. will donate a minimum of $1 million annually from the Elton John Eyewear collection to support the Elton John AIDS Foundation. **

“Elton John Eyewear celebrates confidence, self-expression, and authenticity,” said Elton. “The line is designed to have something for everyone, so no matter who you are, you can always Look yourself. It’s not just about glasses, it’s about changing the way people see themselves.”

This is a true partnership. Not only did the star play a huge part in designing the styles, he gave each one a distinctive name. No matter which pair you choose, you’ll make a statement without saying a word.
