Summer is in full swing, and everyone under the sun is craving a cool look by way of sun wear. Victory Eyewear’s collection has just arrived in the shop and it looks as though they are on the up & up of what is ahead in the sunglass game! This family-owned company has earned its right as a trusted authority on eyewear fashion; spanning three generations and having been in business since 1941, they remain loyal to the retro aesthetic they defined for many style icons we identify eyewear with. (Buddy Holly come to mind?)
Here are the 2 sunglass models, available in 4 colorways:
The newest Suntimers model brings a little edge to the classic retro-round shape with a colored-rim and contrasting metallic double bar. Slick!
Victory’s “Plaza” aviator is also updated in the new color combos, making it one of the most attractive aviator styles on the market.

Just after picking up his amazing new Parisian glasses, George was killin’ it at the Eyes on Fremont bean bag toss, set up just outside of the shop. By stepping up his eyewear game, George surely sharpened up his hand-eye coordination AND his style!
Come visit the shop this weekend on the way to the Fremont Solstice parade and give our bean bag toss a go!
