WeSC X Super

Swedish WeSC teamed up with ItalianĀ Super for their handmade sunglasses. The style Moose comes in black, clear and tortoise.

I really like the details such as the angular lenses, the inside print of the temples and I especially like the texture of the matte tortoise frame. The gradient lenses are Zeiss wich is a wellknown lens manufacturer and leading in optics. I’m very nerdy about these details but these things really makes a big difference. This is great quality all through. Great job WeCS and Super!

Vasuma Inc.

Earlier this week we stopped by Vasuma‘s awesome head office and showroom in Old Town, Stockholm.

Vasuma Inc. is a Stockholm based brand founded by the cool guys Jan Vana, Steffen Sundstrƶm and Lars Malmsten. In 2007 they had their first eyewear line. Their eyewear collection, which has both optical and sun frames, is unisex, young, large and cool.

Fun fact: The English bullies’ favorite phrase “Four eyes” isĀ “Eyewear snake” (Glasƶgonorm) toĀ the Swedish bullies’. Therefore all of Vasuma’s frames are named after snakes. This is the eyewear snakes getting their revenge!

At Vasuma’s office we talked about the process of making a frame. There are many steps to reach the final product. As for any product to hold great quality, fit, style all of the steps have to work smothly. Some of our favorite Vasuma frames.

Vasuma is pretty new in eyewear but has already managed to establish their style and quality. This spring they’ll be at Mido for their first time and Bonocle wishes Vasuma all the best!

Vintage Alberto Puccini

We had a wig party Saturday and I just had to wear my Vintage Alberto Puccini with my blonde wig. Great night out with the girls!

The quality of vintage frames is usually excellent. I wish glasses still had that great quality.

I think some eyewear brands such asĀ Dita andĀ Barton Perreira have that same texture and perfect finish as the vintage ones, but it’s rare. Unfortunately clothing brands rarely make high quality frames.

Framework Posters

Framework has made these awesome limited posters.

I think everyone can recognize a few iconic frames that really are attatched to that evry person’s image and character such as Woody Allan’s, Kanye West‘s or Buddy Holly’s glasses. You can buy them here. I wish the DMC’s were made into one big poster or even a T-shirt.

They are all male actors, artists, musicians or politicians. Where are all the ladies?

Here is a collection of 28 iconic glasses.

01. Woody Allen 02. Kanye West 03. Buddy Holly 04. Michael Caine
05. Kurt Cobain 06. John Lennon 07. Geordi LaForge 08. Malcolm X
09. Johnny Depp 10. Dame Edna 11.Stephen Colbert
12. The Blues Brothers 13. Austin Powers 14. Yves Saint Laurent
15. Elton John 16. George Costanza 17. Bootsy Collins
18. Elvis Costello 19. Terry Richardson 20. David Hockney
21. DMC of Run DMC 22. Andy Warhol 23. Mohandas Ghandi
24. Steve Urkel 25. Napoleon Dynamite 26. Clark Kent
27. Shock G of Digital Underground 28. Truman Capote

We’ve already written about Johnny Depp’s Moscot here.

Hanger

I don’t just love wearing glasses, I also love glasses as an anywhere-detail. Maybe I should begin to store my glasses as shown below?



A part of my eyewear collection, and as you might notice I’m a big fan of MYKITA.

If you have any fun/odd ideas of storing your eyewear, please share with us…
