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!

Barba Amarilla

As you might know by now, we have been visiting Vasuma to look at their latest news. Here is one of their coolest sunglasses, in a very special color: plum.


Barba Amarilla, Vasuma

First of all, isn’t it a great name? Almost Barbara ;). Second, it’s perfectly circular and has a soft purple nuance. Ā Me like!

Vasuma’s Lora

Yesterday Jasmin and I went to visit the Vasuma guys in Old Town, Stockholm. They showed us their latest collection and told us a lot about their brand values, which we’ll tell you more about later. Now, I’ll show you one of my favorite sunglasses from the new collection:



Lora, Vasuma.

I’m specifically fond of the green-tortoise one, it reminds me about the army look that we have shown for you before (HERE).

More to come!

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.
