This Parisian frame is a stand-out with its striking contrast of red outlines on top of a “perforated” aqua frame front… Marie has become a work of art in this intriguing frame style!

Tina couldn’t have picked herself up a fancier pair of glasses than these! This wild frame was made specifically for her bird watching ventures… and it’s just as awe-striking as the specimens she aspires to see!
Fresh trends in the Shop: Striking Stripes
With the recent spring frame shipments that are arriving at the speed of light, we are witnessing another dominating trend in eyewear aesthetics- bold colorful stripes. Which brings us to ponder, could stripes be the new tortoise?
Take a look at some of this new stock from some of our independent companies- Eyefunc, Best Image, and Niche Optics to decide for yourself:
 |
| Fruit stripes: melange of lines & color on metal |
 |
| Are stripes the “new tortoise”? |
 |
| Keeping detail simple on an eccentric style… |
 |
| Not just confined to the straight-forward stripe pattern: waves & “matrix” detailing also showing up…. |

Rebecca is a HUGE fan of Holland designer, ROGER EYE DESIGNS, and has more than one pair to prove it. As a sincere “thank you” from Roger himself, she has a model named after her and HERE IT IS, in sunglass form! LOOKING FABULOUS, Rebecca!
Eyes on Fremont Collection’s frame of the week: Meet the “Sunday Market” in Dove/Teal
Who doesn’t love a neighborhood street fair? This week’s featured EOF Collection style is all about Fremont’s own:
SUNDAY MARKET in Dove/Teal
Named after one of the oldest street markets in Seattle, this contemporary cat-eye silhouette delivers crisp contrast with its defined brow line. The Dove/Teal color is a less conventional springtime mix that still offers a down-to-earth feel.

The Fremont Sunday Market is a year-round indoor/outdoor street market that graces the heart of Fremont (a.k.a “the center of the universe”) every weekend. It has been a go-to for eclectic art & handicrafts, cool second hand goods, local bites, flowers, & produce since 1990. A broad mix of entertainment can also be expected, as Fremont draws upon Seattle’s creative and eccentric crowd.
