Mahonki – Wooden Eyewear Online Store

Juha, founder of Mahonki; an online store, one day stumbled upon a pair of wooden glasses and was immediately amazed. We at Bonocle love wooden glasses as well as you can read about here, here, here and here. It feels so nice against the skin and the frames are very light.

These are our favorites from Mahonki.

Babba in Tunisia GIF

Amigos, I’ve been in sunny Tunisia the past week enjoying an amazing vacation! Riding camels in the Sahara desert, going on jeep safari, visiting berber people, Star Wars land, spending hours by the pool and simply wearing tons of sunglasses.

I will share my sunny moments of the week here soon. While waiting please enjoy this very lol gif of me wearing a selection of the sunglasses I brought to Tunisia. Stay tuned!

Sunglass’ Shop @ Liberty, London

Liberty, London, Sunglass' shop

When I visited London a couple of weeks ago I found a very nice sunglass’ spot at Liberty’s. Here you find a very fine selection of eyewear brands from all over the world, and not just the regular Luxotica-brands.

Some favorite Bonocle pieces:

Liberty, London, Sunglasses from ACNEACNE. We’ve been writing about this model before, but not this color. Isn’t it amazing? Very fine matte surface and perfect combination of colours.

Liberty, London, Sunglasses from Thierry LasryThierry Lasry. As always, glossy acetate in lovely colours. Love the oversized round shape of the brown frame, feminine retro. And the red one… do I even need to explain? It’s the PERFECT nuance of red (and as some of you might know by now, I simply love red).

Liberty, London, Sunglasses from The Row (Linda Farrow)The Row. This is Ashley Olsen and Mary-Kate Olsen’s own accessory brand. Established 2006 and loved by the fashion scene world wide. Playful and fashionable eyewear pieces of good quality.

Oliver Peoples Suglasses SS13 Annaliese I love these fine details in the metal on the Annaliese!

Oliver Peoples Suglasses SS13 Mande The acetate used for Mande is really nice and the thickness of the frame really brings the contrasts out!

Oliver Peoples Suglasses SS13 Sofee Softest colors ever on Sofee.

Oliver Peoples Suglasses SS13 Corie 1284 Well, hello matte teal Corie, matching my nailpolish! Very 80’s!

The other day I got the chance to see the complete collection of Giorgio Armani and PRADA, coming out in the stores now for SS13. I’ve a favorite from each collection!

From the Giorgio Armani collection:
This beautiful little red piece, with an amazing matte surface and lovely double nose bridge. Retro with a modern fusion of color and elegant silver details.

From the PRADA collection:
This pure retro look, available in a range of awesome colors! Simply lovely! Can’t decide on which color to love the most? I want them all. The blue/gold feels like the most classic choice, while the silver/mirror one is the party choice and the soft orange & pink ones have the perfect 70’s summer look.
