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!
Selima Optique recently had an event in New York to launch the “London Collection”. A Vintage high-end collection curated by Selima herself and Kajal, currently a Business School student from London who is set to launch her eyewear company upon graduation later this year. Very exciting!
The collection looks awesome from what I’ve seen so far, specially this vintage sunglass from Cazal:
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!
Carl Waldekranz wearing collaborated sunglasses – MYKITA & Alexandre Herchcovtich, “Avrum” in Violetblue/Nude. Looking great!
I went to Crete for a sunny and lovely vacation. Of course I brought a whole collection of sunglasses with me! One of my favorite sunglasses this year is the classic Keelback from Vasuma, which I’ve modified a bit by changing the regular brown lenses to classic green lenses for a more retro style.
The Swedish brand See By Us offer stylish and modern reading glasses, also available without correction as an accessory. I like the idea of reading glasses with a modern look, like regular eyewear. You find them at selected optician stores in Sweden or at their own Online Store.
Below you see one of their models, named “Truman”.
Bonocle loves Garrett Leight for their combination of design and quality with personality. Keep up the good work!
Few eyewear brands succeed with all models in their collections. Barton Perreira does. At MIDO I had a look at the whole new collection and was amazed of all the great shapes one single eyewear brand can come up with.
In the collection you will find classic, very refined and well done round shapes, such as this one:
Also, you will find more feminine and luxurious shapes, such as this one below (this is my favorite). I love the retro-luxury look of this sunglass! The enamel is amazing!
Even the classic aviator will be available, in an elegant version called “Mitchell”. By combining acetate with metal details, the classic aviator gets a lux sports look. Very masculine and good looking.
