The new models from the British classic Savile Row are in acetate. Available in a handful very traditional and tasteful colors, they are all hand made in London, just like all the other classic frames.
Here’s one of my favorite rimless frames.

Bex Spex
Bex Spex is a San Franscisco based eyewear brand.
Founder Rebekah Kouy-Ghadosh is a licensed optician and has great experience with helping people finding the right frames. Through that process she was able to see people’s need for eyewear that fits a smaller face focusing on that for the inaugural line.
All of the eyewear is handmade in a factory in Northern Italy. Each pair is made using only the finest Italian acetate, customized using the Pantone color system just for Bex Spex.
This charming friend is wearing the Chick-a-Dee frames!
You can really see the different layers of acetate in this picture, love the details!
A beautiful cat eye frame, anyone will feel way more glamorous in these!
MYKITA SS14 Bonocle Favourites
One of my most loved times of the year is here, Silmo!
Jasmin Yaya will be attending the fair, make sure to get her to visit your stand if you’re an exhibitor. Here you find all the post from last years Silmo.
Meanwhile, I’m sharing the Bonocle favourites of the MYKITA SS14 collection:
PHILOMENE and PHILO from the MYKITA Decades collection.
The double nose bridge is an absolute Bonocle favourite and the MYKITA SS14 collection have a lot of bridges to offer:
NADA from the MYKITA collection no 2 
NIILO and ELLINOR from the MYKITA LITE collection.
I think I might get either ELLINOR or PHILOMENE… or both. Fab!

Lovely matte pinkish violet.
Grand Prix IOFT 2013, Tokyo, Japan
Oliverd Goldsmith won the Grand Prix Award as “Best Ladies Frame” at the recently held IOFT Optical Show in Tokyo.
The frame is called Library and was a design that Oliver Goldsmith (the first) made in the 1930’s but in those days it was real tortoiseshell. Today it is only made in acetate!
SILMO 2012 // l.a. Eyeworks
The l.a. Eyeworks booth really popped out at this year’s SILMO fair in Paris. Bold colors in happy patterns and awesome sculptures covered it all! FUN!
The amazing Brent Zerger, looking even more handsome every day.
I strongly believe in these bold smilghtly curved clubmaster style frames. You can always use some more eyebrows!
The awesome Silverman frame. Love this thick metal frame!
