Oliver Peoples Vintage

Finally, I had the pleasure to see the whole Oliver Peoples Vintage collection in real life. As we’ve been mentioning before it’s a limited edition collection containing 3 classic models: OP-505, Oliver Peoples very first frame, O’Malley, the famous frame worn by Christian Bale in the movie “American Psycho”, and OP-1955, with it’s significant plastic temple in another color than the front.

I really love the whole vintage concept, that even the spectacle cases, the bags and the product sheets are specifically designed for this limited edition collection. This gives the whole collection a genuine feeling of exclusivity!

You can find more pictures at their official website, which is definitely worth a visit – it’s such a beautiful website, with amazing photos of the collection. Check it out (HERE).

Waiting for the news from MIDO

Bonocle.com couldn’t go to the Mido fair in Milano this weekend, but we are so excited about the new stuff we were told was shown there! Of course we’ll share everything new and exciting with you as soon as it arrives.

Meanwhile take a look at one of the things we’re excited about: Oliver Peoples Vintage frames. Classics such as the O’Malley and OP-505 made in Japan.

New Oliver Peoples

A few years ago there was a very popular metal frame from Oliver Peoples called Keats. Those who know, know. It had no nosepads, was simple, thin, elegant and smart. There was not really anything that could replace it’s simplicity. Until now. Gallagher is the “new” Keats.

Matte VS Polished

Lately we’ve seen lots of matte acetate frames. This frosty texture adds an extra dimension to the frame and gives it a complete new look. It softens the dark colors and feels very comfortable against the skin. Take a look!
