NOVATO, Calif.--()--Zenni, the DTC eyewear industry leader, is partnering with premium eyewear designers Coco and Breezy for a first-of-its-kind affordable collection for kids.

Available exclusively at Zenni.com/planetcb starting today, Planet CB by Coco + Breezy x Zenni is a place where conscious kids can express themselves with positivity and style, and find glasses as unique as they are. The collection comes at a time when back-to-school plans are uncertain -- whether they’re going back to school or back to screen, each style gives kids exactly what they need to excel in and out of the classroom.

“Coco and Breezy’s passion, creativity and incredible design sensibility made them the perfect partner for Zenni’s first-ever collaboration with another eyewear designer. Zenni revolutionized the eyewear industry with our affordable DTC model, and Coco + Breezy as Black premium eyewear designers, so we are thrilled to share this joint vision with our customers,” said Sean Pate, Zenni Brand Communications Officer.

The collection ranges from $25.95 - $32.95 and features signature Coco + Breezy design details paired with hand-polished acetate and layered mixed materials. Each of the eight styles is available in multiple colorways and named with a unique affirmation. All styles are available with prescription, non-prescription, sunglass, and Zenni’s Blokz Trivex blue light-blocking impact resistant lenses that provide style and protection for kids in classrooms both virtual and in-person.

Together with Coco and Breezy, Zenni is donating a portion of proceeds from Planet CB purchases to the Child Mind Institute’s Healthy Brain Network to ensure that youth of Black communities have greater access to mental health services and resources. This initiative will contribute to a landmark study to understand mental health in children around the world.

Coco and Breezy Dotson added, “Now more than ever, kids need a space to celebrate their diversity, self-expression and empowerment. Working with Zenni was the perfect way to make this collection accessible to all kids, while giving back to Black youth and communities in the face of unprecedented times.”
