Reflections on this eyewear trend: Mirrored lenses

You better believe it: Channeling that Vuarnet circa 80’s look just got cool again.  The visual word on the street: mirror coatings are back with a vengeance.  


We trend forecasters can attest to the fact that because fashions ebb & flow, you might want to think twice next time you clean those “dated” styles out of your closet. Sooner or later, it will be the hottest new thing again….


YES, we can update your current sun wear with mirrored lenses that will complement any frame of your choosing- just inquire next time you come into the shop!

Summer’s not over yet: Newest COOLEST Sunglasses Collections are here!

For an optical shop that focuses on fashionable but still Rx-able eyewear, sunglasses can be a tricky thing to invest in. When choosing glasses styles for the shop, we walk the fine line between carrying something functional & practical yet, trendy & fun. Recently, we’ve upped the ante on our fashion forward sunwear to offer some edgier stylings for those who want something special. 

Here are a few new things: 

CoLab: Australian collection features limited edition styles designed by actual Artists

unique details on every CoLab frame style
Only 1000 pairs made of each model & color combo

Zen Barcelona’s cutting edge matte plastic/metal combos
 … and updated aviator looks

Better hurry in & get these while they last!

Painting Sea-town red & fighting evil— Dutch style!

Our glorious summer is breezing by and here we are in August already!  In July, we had the pleasure of welcoming one of our favorite eyewear designers and friend, Roger Hoppenbrouwers back to Seattle- this time, with his lovely family.  We hosted a few shindigs & helped them navigate their way to the best Washington State has to offer. 

Here they are visiting the shop one last time before they were on their way back home:

If you aren’t already familiar with the eclectic ROGER EYE DESIGNS collection (many of our customers definitely are!), here’s a little sampling of his latest creations:

Lots of fun colors & shapes to play with… his styles are not for the stylistically weak of heart 😉
We have his complete collection in the shop… stop by to check them out.
