We at ChinaShop spent the day Thursday in Austin, Texas celebrating St Patrick’s Day. What better way to share our love of the Emerald Isle than to whip out our favorite pair of shades and help with the green effort in the process.
The Shamrock Shades craze made its debut in 2006, popularized by bands like Gil Mantera’s Party Dream, Architects and The Lashes, a spirited band of ragtag rockers who know all too well the meaning of “Tabhair póg dom, táim Éireannach” (that’s Irish Gaelic for “Kiss me, I’m Irish!”).
