It was so hard to choose this week’s CUSTOMER OF THE WEEK!, but as we were going through pictures, the choice became clear… CINDI looks so fabulous in her new Francis Klein frames that we knew we had to give her the star treatment on this blog!
Fly me to the moon / Let me play among the Francis Klein rhinestones /
Let me see what spring is like on Jupiter and Mars / In other words…SPARKLE!!!She really takes flight in this Francis Klein Tatia frame, which was a brand new addition to the store! We’re so glad Cindi came in to Eye Spy just in time to snag these sparkly spectacles, just days after their arrival on our wall. Now Cindi can fly all over the world in jet-setter Francis Klein style!
Congratulations, Cindi!

Ahh, so many weeks we’ve chosen one or more lovely customers to spotlight here…. we’ve just been reminiscing and we’ve decided that, this week, we’re going to say THANK YOU to all of our previous choices for CUSTOMER OF THE WEEK!
These lovely faces show how great it is to take a chance on a RED frame or a BLUE frame! They represent the whimsical side of Anne et Valentin frames, the fantastic structure of ic! berlin frames, and the intriguing angles of Theo frames. These faces are what make Francis Klein glasses sparkle, they are what make Frost frames come alive and they show why Lafont is a good and reliable friend when it comes to quality eyewear. These customers have helped us welcome Grotesque and Claire Goldsmith to Eye Spy, they’ve modeled our eyewear in advertisements on postcards, in magazines, and even on El platforms!
Everybody wants to be a cool kid, cool kid.We love our customers, each and every one, but right now, here’s to the Eye Spy friends who have found themselves in our CUSTOMER OF THE WEEK spotlight! Cheers!
Yes we did! It’s time for Eye Spy’s January Sale!!!! Whoo!!!
We have frames at 25% off, 50% off, and 75% off the original price! AND, we have a ton of Anne et Valentin frames and IC! Berlin frames that we received especially for the sale at 40% to 50% off their original prices…unbelievable.
We do this because we love you so much.

I’ve been meaning to share this for a while, months actually! Over the summer, Alissa and Mary H went to a lecture by Kazuo Kawasaki, the man behind Kawasaki frames.
Kazuo Kawasaki is one of the most interesting people I have had the pleasure to meet. His ideas and inventions are innovative and beautiful and reach far beyond eyewear. He has designed an artificial heart, a wheelchair, and way to efficiently distribute immunization vaccines. He does all of this with one eye on the functionality of the product and one eye on the aesthetics. It was a fascinating lecture and I’m still thinking about it all these months later.
At Eye Spy, we love Kawasaki frames because they are lightweight, durable and customizable. You can pick your shape, size and color of the frame…and lenses. Kawasaki-san also revealed the concept of the hinge…a re-bent paperclip! Very cool, and very simple. It works quite well.
We also wanted to post this picture of Alissa, Mary H, and Kazuo Kawasaki. Go ahead, get jealous…
1, 2, 3, AWESOME!
Yes we did! It’s time for Eye Spy’s January Sale!!!! Whoo!!!

We love when we are able to picture a longtime customer and the frame that would be a perfect new look. Caitlin is moving to Japan soon, good luck Caitlin! We’re sure, in these sparkly blue specs, you’ll be the toast of Japan!

This week our Customer of the Week! is ANNIE!!!
Annie’s brother is a long-time customer of Eye Spy and he sent his sister to us for some brand new specs. Annie walked in the door and said “I want awesome new glasses.” She had us at “awesome.”
Immediately, we knew the perfect frame for her. After trying on a few super-fun frames, including a purple Anne et Valentin frame that came in a close second, Annie’s heart returned to these Claire Goldsmith frames–it was fate!
This is the first frame she tried on, and boy, does she look great! We’ve got to pat ourselves on the back for this one, sometimes a person walks in the store and we get all Matchmaker Matchmaker and we just know that one frame in the store that belongs with a particular person. It’s like Cupid’s arrows all over the place in here.
Love at first Sight!We just love how these Claire Goldsmith frames are so big and fun, but the first thing you see in this photo are Annie’s bright blue eyes and welcome smile!
Congratulations, Annie! You’re our CUSTOMER OF THE WEEK!

Check out this cool article about Ralph Anderl, managing director of ic! berlin
Hey Ralph, what’s up?
It’s pretty nifty to read the story behind the company. Ralph is the guy to thank when you accidentally sit on, run over, step on, or sleep in your ic! berlins—and they don’t break!
Now I do, yes, thank you very much!
