Ruto Dons Classic Ksh120K Sunglasses In Extravaganze Showcase
President William Ruto’s fashionable sunglasses drew attention from Kenyans at the Baringo Cultural Festival and Kimalel Goat Auction in Baringo County, both on-site and online.
In photos posted online, President Ruto wore a casual dress accented by golden Classic C de Cartier Motif Sunglasses rather from the traditional outfits that are often associated with State House appearances.
The choice of eyewear emphasized the convergence of fashion, political branding, and the cost of luxury in a shifting economic situation.
The Classic C de Cartier Motif Sunglasses are a signature product of the French luxury goods company, Cartier, and include a “C” décor on the temples, in addition to the superb finishes and rimless frames.
The sunglasses have a flawless 18-karat gold plating, photochromic lenses, and several layers of anti-reflective coating.
Furthermore, the “C de Cartier” pattern represents a century-long tradition of craftsmanship, lending the accessory a Parisian heritage.
These glasses gave the President a bright, modern image that suited his rising number of “smart casual” appearances at cultural and sporting events across the country.

Once embraced as a man of the people, he now projects an image of detachment, his pricey designer glasses becoming a symbol of excess in hard times.
