Frame Arrival:
Well lookie lookie what we have here, big arrival of colorful French plastics. It may look like a lot of frames but these will go fast…
Frame Story…
As we all know vintage eye wear is pretty big right now. Chances are if you have looked at very many vintage frames, you have probably seen little shield pins in the shape of a V. That V stands for Victory Optical. Founded in the 40’s Victory Optical was one of the largest optical manufacturers in the US.
Fast forward to present day…Bill Marfuggi, the Grandson of Vincent Salierno– Founder of Victory Optical, has resurrected the company. The great part about this? You can now get authentic vintage frames, made from the original blueprints of the 40’s, 50’s and 60’s, but made of fresh new (not 50 year old) materials.
Ranging from really great classic horn rims to cat eyes, that are REALLY cat eyes, to some outstanding sunglasses, there is quite a bit of range in the line. Below our frame guru Bill is wearing his new Victory frames, and looking pretty darn good!
New Small Plastics…
Check it out! Our friend Mark just sent us this shipment of really great small plastic feminine shapes. We know that it is pretty hard for the petite faces of the world to find glasses. So if you are out there and hunting, now is a good time to get here. There are a number of different sizes and colors, but they will go fast.
Eighties
So we all know the 80’s have come around. What’s great is when things come around in a tasteful way, we think that these really hit it.
New Frames!!!
…Yup! New frames. Our friend Augusto has really done something special with these. The finishes are matte…but so NOT dull. Come to think of it we’ve never really seen colors like these before. And the shapes are something to speak of as well, not your run of the mill stuff going on here.
