ANDY WOLF Eyewear walks the fine line between razor-sharp styling & contemporary appeal for a more effortless fashion-forward look. Add in the quality craftsmanship & finely handled construction, and behold- a covetable eyewear collection of exemplary value.
ANDY WOLF IS SMART, CHIC, AND COOL.
The collection stays ahead of the design game with its unique color palettes & innovative color/frame material combinations, but never strays from a balanced, versatile trend aesthetic.
Check out their intriguing website and follow their well- curated eyewear blog, its somewhat of an artistic odyssey with an editorial fashion feel (and one of our favorite glasses websites for inspiration).
Plus, they have a great vimeo video that gives an intimate view of how handcrafting their eyewear is a special process here:

As an independent optical shop with a unique vision of our own, we are enthusiastic about making connections & supporting eyewear companies such as this intriguing sunglass line from Australia. To us, the backstory is just as important as the product.
Meet Australian Eyewear designer, Michael Crawley- part of the mastermind duo behind VALLEY EYEWEAR. Together with his wife Tenielle, they design & curate this collection with an idealistic vision of what a really cool, high quality pair of glasses should be.
Michael was frustrated with the sunglass market & its lack of good quality-cutting edge fashion offerings, so he basically drafted up the dream pair himself at a time when both him and his wife were on the search for new career ventures. As a matter of fact, according to Tenielle, his first design was drawn one night freehand on the kitchen counter! Way to cook up a dream pair of sunglasses…!
Here are a few of the newest Ophthalmic designs from the collection that we have in stock:
The aesthetic is a bold & confident, deftly edgy interpretation of classic eyewear lines…
Their fashion-forward looks have won the attention of celebrities such as Kat von D, Gwen Stefani, Kanye West, Katie Homes, & Marilyn Manson, as well as collaboration interests with some famed designers such as custom hat designer, Kick Fouquet in LA.
Check out Valley eyewear’s ultra-cool website where you can view some of their designs & collaborative work, and some of the more impressive Optical art music videos we’ve seen:

Tracy’s edgy-chic metal cat-eye is striking: perfectly balanced with its thin, sweeping silhouette & beautifully layered color. The leopard print is just subtle enough to mimic the favored classic “tortoise” aesthetic in a very contemporary way. (click photo to see closer detail)
This frame is a beautiful accompaniment to her lovely smile!

A crystal clear frame can go a little or a long way style-wise, depending on the eyewear shape.
Cheryl’s revamped retro look from Andy Wolf expresses personality & edge in a subtle way, so her pretty eyes and smile are still the focal point! At the same time, this frame doesn’t stray from presenting an intriguing fashion aesthetic.
