A love note to Tokyo Tortoise……..

Not everyone can pull off a Toyko Tortoise frame, they have a lot of texture, variation in color and lots of yellow shining through. But when it works its an amazing, high impact look that will definitely get the wearer some attention. We’ve started to see more designers incorporating the color with all of the new vintage style inspiration out there and we couldn’t be happier. It also works wonderfully in a sunglass frame as a dark lens can really make the texture stand out.

MayAnn’s friends Michael & Zachary dropped by the shop this week to pick out new frames and we just had to get a picture of them as they are incredibly handsome in glasses. Zachary found a pair of “wood grained” plastic horn rims that we love on him. You can see the frames in person at the Stumptown on Pine Street where Zachary works as a barista.
