Donald's EOF Story


This is Donald (hi Donald!)


Donald's journey began a couple of months ago in a neighborhood FAR away from Fremont (think eastern Canada!). In search of great glasses and unlucky with his neighborhood shops he turned to the internet, the internet brought him to us. He spotted this pair on our Flickr account:


And that was the beginning of the end of his journey. He called, we emailed, he shopped around, we talked, we emailed. And it became apparent that this was THE PAIR for Donald. We emailed him the size, he tried on similar sizes all the way over in a shop in Canada. It was a done deal, he signed a check, dropped it in the mail and it made its way here. And the glasses made their way there. Add some lenses and ta-da! Donald is a new man, Donald 2.0 so to speak.


Donald & His Eyes on Fremont frames!


Success! Donald has new frames, they were affordable, stylish and just what he wanted, and we have a new friend in our neighbor to the North, Canada!

Spotted this photo on the Jezebel blog and instantly recognized the frames! We've carried this model in at least 3 colors. I love knowing that its being worn across the globe in New Zealand too!

New frames from Norway

We just received a huge order from one of our favorite designers in Norway. They specialize in modern titanium designs, very clean and very comfortable. Bill & Linda were kind enough to model a couple of the styles:








Karin in her handmade Polish frames!





Some glasses & people were meant to be together. As soon as Karin tried on these frames we knew it was meant to be. The colors and details work perfectly on her!

Round Sunnies for Summer from the NY Times



There was a great article in the NY Times yesterday about the return of round sunglasses. We've been loving rounds for awhile now, so this isn't news to us, but its an interesting investigation into the trend from square to round shapes that's happening right now. We've got several round styles in the shop and we're always on the lookout for more! Drop by and try some on!
