You've seen them on nearly every style star around: The Dior So Real Sunglasses quickly became iconic after launching back in 2014. When the likes of Olivia Palermo, Rihanna, Lupita Nyong'o, and Emma Roberts have been spotted wearing them, you know they've achieved It-accessory status. If you're as obsessed with the shades as we are, prepare to delight in this new video from the brand, which shows the entire behind-the-scenes process of the making of the sunglasses.
Dior has also released fun facts about the shades to accompany the video. For starters, the mirrored part of the lenses is carefully applied by hand, making each pair unique.
