Customer of the Week!!!

Written by on December 26th 2012

Our Customer of the Week is Lael!

Lael and his wife Eugenie have been coming to Eye Spy for almost ten years!  Eugenie has always had a love of funky eyewear, but it took a bit of persuading to get Lael on board.   A couple of years ago, Lael  decided to take the plunge…he was jealous that his wife always got all the compliments.  Once he bought his first fun pair, he kept coming back for more!  Now, Lael and his wife are the talk of the town!!!

You rock Lael…and you are our Customer of the Week!

P.S. This is Eugenie. She is a hard act to follow!!

Customer of the Week!

Check out how happy our customer of the week Renata is! She is super pumped to have her new Anne et Valentin Cook frames! 

Renata is a actress turned financial consultant. You go girl! She is looking sassy *and* trustworthy in her new frames. Check out the detail on these frames below!

We love the purple with a pop of orange on the sides. These frames are just what a sass pants like Renata needs! You look awesome lady!! Congrats on being our customer of the week.

Note: Renata also brought in a few friends to help her decide and they ended up getting frames!  She’s earned a generous store credit of $50 for each friend that she referred:-) And don’t forget that our referral discounts go both ways;-)

CUSTOMER OF THE WEEK!!

Written by on December 9th 2012

Check out these two adorable ladies in their sweet new frames. Miriam (on the left) is wearing her new Theo Dore frame, and Susan (on the right) is wearing her brand spankin’ new Anne et Valentin Fanzine frame.

They look so happy and awesome in their new-found frames…and who wouldn’t be?!

It’s hard to tell from this shot, but they both have blue frames. Miriam’s Theo frame keeps the blue a bit of a secret…unless you are tall and can see the top of her frame! Here is a closer look:

 

Congrats to Miriam and Susan on being our Customers of the week!

Lafont Trunk Show this Saturday!!!

Written by on November 20th 2012

Last, but certainly not least in our line up of trunk shows for November is… LaFont on  November 24th from 11-5pm! You will be able to view and try-on hundreds of Lafont frames from the new 2013 collection.

In 1972, Philippe and Laurence Lafont created the line of Lafont glasses. The goal was to create a timeless line that lived up to the family’s history of quality eyewear and the Parisian standard of high fashion. Lafont frames are easy-to-wear shapes in beautiful colors, for kids and adults!

Trunk shows are NOT sales…they are exclusive events where the sales rep from each line brings his or her samples for all to try-on. Every sample that the rep has, will be in the store for the weekend only. The shows are open to the public on Saturdays from 11-5 PM...and BY APPOINTMENT only on Sundays. 

This is your one and only chance to see every color and every shape available in the current collections. We carry a majority of each collection, but we do not have room to stock the entire collection of each line. If you have been looking for the perfect pair or have something specific in mind, this is the time to come in to Eye Spy. You will be like a kid in a candy shop!!

Oh, and did we mention that these trunk shows will be showcasing the 2013 collections that are not in any stores yet? The only drawback is: you might have to wait a few weeks or a few months to receive your frames….but it will be worth it!! See you soon:-)

Theo Trunk Show this Saturday!!!

Written by on November 13th 2012

For the third trunk show of the month we’ve got Theo, on November 17th from 11-5pm! You will be able to view and try-on hundreds of Theo frames from the new 2013 collection.

In 1989, Theo introduced its ground-breaking collection in Belgium to offer their clients glasses that were definitely not mainstream. Now, Theos appeal to a wider audience, but they still have a soft spot for the individualist.
