Fall in love

Fall in love with this beautiful frame.  It is handmade in Germany.  The color is somewhere between a deep burgundy and purple.  The hammered detail is exquisite.

It only takes one detail to make a big impact and eye wear is a powerful vehicle for style.  We are experts in tailoring a frame for your prescription, facial features, and personalty.                                                  We also have a good deal of fun along the way 😉

Out on a Limb……..

The distinctive swoop of cat eyeglass frames was designed to create the effect in which the wearers face and features appear to be drawn upward, creating the illusion the individual is smiling- even when she is not.

Today’s cat eye shape is softer and more understated than in the past. You don’t have to go out on a limb to wear this shape – unless you like to color outside the lines –then you go girl!

Pearls of Wisdom

Pearls are often thought of as prim and proper – but, let’s not forget they were the accessory of choice for rule breaking flappers of the 1920’s.

The photo shows this frame leaning toward purple – but in person it is a beautiful deep red.

We hand select all of our frames and would love to help you find the perfect pair.

Split Personality

When a neutral frame is too quiet and a colorful frame is too overpowering, the solution is obvious: combine them.  Two tone frames are the answer for all sorts of questions.

Are  black frames too heavy?  Fade the black to crystal for a lighter look.

 

Are tortoise frames too traditional? Blend in a beautiful blue to create a unique combination.

Some might accuse two tone lovers of being indecisive, but here’s another question… why choose when you don’t have too?

Art of the frame- Our new favorite collection

dr-g-article-one

Dr. Goodwin got new glasses – her beautiful handmade frame is from Article One.

Article One is an independent eyewear company based in Flint, Michigan. Flint native Wes Stoody founded Article One in 2012. He set out to raise awareness and funding for supplementation of vitamin A in developing nations. “I learned that about half a million children go blind from Vitamin A deficiency and about half of those children die within a year.” Stoody stated. So Article One donates $2 for every pair they sell to Helen Keller International. They have donated enough to fund a years worth of vitamin A supplements for 15,000 children thus far.

The frames are designed in Flint and handmade from start to finish in a small family owned factories in Northern Italy. The fit and feel of these handmade frames make it one of our favorite collections, and we are proud to support their promise to put real dollars to work preventing blindness.
