WOW! These girls really caughted my attention with their unusual style. Love the sunglasses, love the hats – love the style!
It’s a pair of vintage sunglasses she bought at Mauerpark the same day. Lucky girl, it’s a really nice vintage sunglass you very rarely find at a free market such as Mauerpark.
Wow! Look what I’ve found at the Lunettes Store in Berlin: a vintage Cazal in a perfect skiing look with an elastic band on the back. Bonocle favorite!

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.

I passed by this man today and as he caught my attention with his awesome frames I just had to run back and ask for a picture to share with you guys.
He is wearing a Japanese metal frame which he added a black windsor ring on for a more intense look. I love the idea of modifying your own eyewear! Like Jasmin did with her Savile Row (see post HERE) or like I did with my Vasumas (see post HERE).
The other week Caroline and I went to the free market at Mauerpark in Berlin and found these lovely binoculars from Rodenstock. Binoculars are so beautiful!
I love Sundays in Berlin, you always find great-looking eyewear-people enjoying the sun. The gradient color of the girl’s sunglass is wonderful, it suits her very well.
I love Marie-Louise style this sunny winter day in Berlin! Completely dressed in black and with a bright red lipstick on. Cool! She is wearing sunglasses from Marc by Marc Jacobs in a bold matt acetate. Definitely one of the coolest sunglasses I’ve seen from Marc by Marc Jacobs.
My dear friend Caroline just moved to Berlin and are already enjoying the sun. On the pictures you see her wearing Persol 714 (the folding one, with the same shape as Persol 649).
Last year I wrote a post about Eyewear as an anywhere-detail and shared a photo of my eyewear on a hanger:
On that post I got a great comment from a reador about a special hanger from IKEA. Now that I moved to Berlin I actually bought this hanger and I’m now collecting my eyewear as an interior detail. Unfortunately I didn’t bring all of my glasses with me, so the hanger isn’t filled yet…
Bonocle
