Garrett Leight in Paris

In Paris I met Garrett Leight and Elena Doukas to see the Garrett Leight glasses. It was great to finally meet them since we at Bonocle like the frames so much! We had a great time and talked most of the time so I kinda forgot to take pictures.

What I can tell you is that great things are about to come! I am really really excited! Garrett is doing a great job, there are few models but all of them are truly well executed!

You can read more about Garret Leight’s frames here and here and stay tuned for future posts about Garrett Light!

New MYKITA Sun SS11

We had the chance of looking at the newest of the newest MYKITA sun collection. Now we really can’t wait for the sun to come back!

MYKITA is an übercool Berlin based eyewear brand making really comfortable sunglasses with excellent quality and durability. The metal frames are really light as they’re cut out out of a  superthin sheat of steel and then milled into the right shape – this in combination of the screwless contruction (screws usually unscrew themselves) gives the MYKITA  frames a very unique look and feel.

Lately we’ve seen lots of round retro-style shapes and colorful sunglasses in general from all eyewear brands! MYKITA interprets this in a very modern and sleek way:


For all of you who love colorful sunglasses!



This feminine shape is lovely.


Transparent acetate shifts in color in the sunshine. COOL!


Very tasteful glasses for the gentlemen. Notice the superthin gold bottom rim.


OH! The shape, colors and matte texture! These are really fun!


The shading of this lens is exquisite. Notice the hinges on this acetate frame.


This oversized cat eye shape’s color reminds me of lolly pops


MYKITA has a collaboration with Uslu Airlines, offering three different colors for you to match your aviators with your nail polish! We like!
