We get excited about the designers we carry.
This exquisite eyewear from Anne et Valentin is part of their Factory series, an homage to Andy Warhol’s Manhattan 1960’s studios known as “The Factory”. The factory was home to a lifestyle of partying, art production and everything in between for Warhol and his associates. Like Warhol’s Pop Art, the color of the frame is…
We think these Barton Perreira cat-eye sunglasses are the definition of glamourous. Crafted of pure titanium with enamel inlay and featuring sultry, gradient lenses, these long-limbed beauties are sexy, yet refined. Flirty, but elegant. Feline instincts are treated with restraint. We can’t think of anyone that does enamel eyewear better than Barton Perreira. This is…
New York Couturier Thom Browne recently launched his eyewear division, bringing to sunglasses and opticals the same high-touch sense of imagination that made his menswear line so well respected. tb-001 Browne explodes onto the market with this frame, which we think has already achieved icon status, right out of the box . The titanium frame…

We love getting notes of appreciation. We recently received an email from screenwriter Mark Lawrence Miller about a certain frame that he had been looking for and how he got it: The knock on Hollywood (and more specifically its Entertainment Industry) is that our professional dreamers and the VIP executives they answer to still seem…
We’ve been thinking a lot about Alexander McQueen these days. Kate Middleton not only recently tied the knot with her prince in a house of McQueen dress by Sarah Burton, but also feted her marriage in another McQueen dress the following day. (Even Pippa wore McQueen!) And New York’s Metropolitan Museum of Art has launched…
It seems like just yesterday that Steve McQueen was in the shop. When he would come in, always in T-shirt and jeans, Allie MacGraw used to sit on the floor and ogle him – one of world’s sexiest leading men. And despite his reputation as a Hollywood rebel and highest paid actors in the world,…
