[DALLAS, SEPTEMBER 13, 2023] — PaprDoll Eyewear, the pioneering brand that seamlessly blends fashion and innovation with its patented invention, The Eyewear Appliqué, announces its recognition as a finalist in the Accessories Council Design Excellence Awards for Technology and Innovation. This acknowledgment is a testament to PaprDoll's commitment to revolutionizing eyewear by creating a new, exciting cosmetic experience for glasses wearers.

Karen Giberson, President and CEO of the Accessories Council, expressed her admiration, saying, "It’s no surprise to see PaprDoll Eyewear as a finalist for a Design Excellence Award! Their concept is fresh and innovative, along with a great combination of style, quality, and color!"

PaprDoll Eyewear firmly believes that eyeglasses should not only serve a practical purpose, but also be a source of joy and fashion. The brand’s groundbreaking invention, the PaprDoll Eyewear Appliqué, introduces an exciting new dimension to eyewear personalization. These versatile and chic appliqués, akin to fashionable stickers, empower wearers to instantly transform their eyeglasses, changing the color and look with a simple peel-and-stick, unlocking boundless opportunities for self-expression.

What distinguishes PaprDoll Eyewear Appliqués is their compatibility not only with PaprDoll frames, but also with a variety of Warby Parker and Ray-Ban frames. Crafted in the United States from eco-friendly materials, these custom-designed appliqués offer a sustainable and cost-effective alternative to frequent eyewear updates.

PaprDoll Eyewear is the visionary creation of three individuals: Elizabeth Barnwell Meier, Maria Moore Barnwell and Cate Biggs Vosbein. As a female-founded eyewear company, PaprDoll merges the expertise of online accessories veterans with the insights of an optical industry executive. Motivated by their early successes in social e-commerce and their aspiration to redefine the relationship between fashion, personal expression, and eyewear, they conceived the PaprDoll Appliqué Technology.

The Accessories Council Design Excellence Awards celebrate ingenuity, craftsmanship, and inventiveness in the world of fashion accessories. Organized by the Accessories Council, the awards honor those brands and individuals who have made outstanding contributions to the industry. PaprDoll Eyewear is thrilled about this achievement and extends gratitude to its customers, partners, and supporters.
