The Bonocle Girls

It’s been a long time since we presented ourselves! I think it’s about time we do it again, as we’ve got so many new readers lately. Welcome!

My name is Barbara and I run this blog with my friend Jasmin Yaya. We started this website as an initiative to offer people around the world a great eyewear blog. Among all thousands of fashion bloggers, we couldn’t identify a single one about eyewear that offered the combination we wanted.

Jasmin and I met each other at Bågar & Glas, where we both currently work. Jasmin is an optometrist and has been in the eyewear business since 2006. I’ve been in the Eyewear business since 2008 and I am currently studying marketing, which I love to combine with my great passion for Eyewear.

Thank you all for following us!

For those of you think eyewear chains are only for old people.

New Leisure Society

Last week I had the chance of looking at a few new frames from Leisure Society. The Leisure Society frames are made of the finest materials such as titanium, japanese acetate, gold and now horn. You can read more about Leisure Society here and here.


Here you can see the fine materials used for making this frame: acetate front, sides of the temples covered with horn and gold plated titanium.


This collage shows very well what Leisure Society stands for. Classic, elegant, beautiful yet functional.
