Ottica Giulietti e Guerra, Bologna, Italy

When in Bologna, Italy do not miss one of the best optician’s I’ve been to:

Ottica Giulietti e Guerra
Via Clavature, 24
40124 BOLOGNA


Garrett Leight in the window.

There you can find most of the top eyewear brands worth mentioning such as Oliver Peoples, Garrett Leight, MYKITA, Theo, Harry Lary’s, Thierry Lasry, just to name a few. They have a few stores in Bologna and this is one of them. Very nice staff too!


Harry Lary’s beautiful acetate!


Thierry Lasry always had the craziest acetate!

The lovely Caroline Abram that makes the beautiful eyewear accessories we’ve posted about a few times about also makes fantastic glasses.

Meet Baldessarini


Meet Baldessarini, founded in 1993 by Werner Baldessarini, the rewarded former Vice President and designer of Hugo Boss. The eyewear is classic and minimalistic with fine details in the acetate.




Look at the acetate! It looks like wood!


Tomas Halld’n, friend and former collegue, is now the awesome Swedish rep for Baldessarini invited me to his place and showed me the entire collection.

I love Tomas’ animals, and there’s lots of them. This is Hedda, she is a Whippet. Here I’m wearing my favorite from the Baldessarini collection, the 5105.


The Corn Snakes needed some accessories.


Geckos need glasses too…

Warby Barker – Canine Optical

This cracked me up. Warby Barker offers elegant eyewear for man’s best firend.


The Dogocle.
“Like all costly technologies, the dogocle quickly become a status symbol. The look was especially favored by wealthy dogs, who used dogocles for activities such as examining wine lists and counting piles of gold.”


The Begley.
Vintage inspired frames for the intellectual man’s best friend.


The Winston.
The power frame.

At the Vasuma HQ

Recently I visited the Vasuma HQ in Old Town in Stcokholm. The Vasuma guys are always so friendly and it had been way too long since last time.

Vasuma is a Swedish street wear brand with really cool glasses. The styles are cool, young, fun and very wearable. All frames are named after snakes, because in Swedish Four-Eyes is Glasögonorm which kinda translates into “Glasses Snake”.

Friday at 10:00 am Vasuma Eyewear open up their doors for the yearly sample sale! They are selling styles from their sample collection at the amazing price of 500 sek/pcs. Inside information is to be there early, because the good stuff sells out quick.

Huggorm in transparent and black is a really chunky sunglass.


I really like the detail on the top.


Snok is one of my favorite frames – of all time! love the shape and the color!


Steffen is working hard.


Shut up!


Vasuma and Sandqvist collaborated on this gorgeous case. It’ll only look better the more you wear it!!


The Puff Adder is a great shape for this summer!

Blue Lenses

There is something about blue lenses, and some have even made it their hallmark. Colored or tinted lenses definitely make your glasses unique!
