Last weekend I visited the Lunettes Store at Torstrasse 172 in Berlin. What a beautiful boutique! They offer a huge collection of unworn vintage frames, both sun and ophthalmic. Besides that, they also have some handpicked brands (such as Clair Goldsmith, Moscot and Garrett Leight) and even more unique: their own line “Lunettes Kollektion” containing refined vintage shapes in interesting colors.
It’s a lovely story behind the lunettes shop. It all began with Uta Geyer. Uta was working as a scenery searching for vintage revisit for a theater when she came over the huge interest for vintage frames. Later on, she found such a beautiful (and cheap!) optometrists booth at eBay that she couldn’t resist to buy. One day, when sitting in a café she saw an empty boutique hall for rental… So all of a sudden she had an optometrists booth and a empty boutique just in front of her – this was a sign for the beginning of Lunettes Brillenagentur.

Some of all the sunglasses I brought to the vacation in Crete. Even though I have a lot of sunglasses, I still feel like I need some more colorful ones. My collection is a bit to classy at the moment…
GRAZ, Stray I in Black. So thin. So refined. So classy. So perfect.
Some of you regular readers might know by now I’m a big fan of cool metal frames. This i definitely a Bonocle favorite!
Black Optical (a very cool and modern optician shop) have collaborated with Makr Carry Goods (a lovely leather maker) and came up with this lovely leather eyewear sleeve. The cases are designed & made in the USA, using Horween leather. The eyewear business do need more cool eyewear sleeves -Good job!
